1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

In recent years, with the rapid development of blockchain technology, the issues of storage load and data security have attracted increasing attention. Due to the immutable nature of data on the blockchain, where data can only be added and not deleted, there is a significant increase in storage pressure on blockchain nodes. In order to alleviate this burden, this paper proposes a blockchain data storage strategy based on a hot and cold block mechanism. It employs a block heat evaluation algorithm to assess the historical and correlation-based heat indicators of blocks, enabling the identification of frequently accessed block data for storage within the blockchain nodes. Conversely, less frequently accessed or "cold" block data are offloaded to cloud storage systems. This approach effectively reduces the overall storage pressure on blockchain nodes. Furthermore, in applications such as healthcare and government services that utilize blockchain technology, it is essential to encrypt stored data to safeguard personal privacy and enforce access control measures. To address this need, we introduce a blockchain data encryption storage mechanism based on threshold secret sharing. Leveraging threshold secret sharing technology, the encryption key for blockchain data is fragmented into multiple segments and distributed across network nodes. These encrypted key segments are further secured through additional encryption using public keys before being stored. This method serves to significantly increase attackers' costs associated with accessing blockchain data. Additionally, our proposed encryption scheme ensures that each block has an associated encryption key that is stored alongside its corresponding block data. This design effectively mitigates vulnerabilities such as weak password attacks. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach achieves efficient encrypted storage of data while concurrently reducing the storage pressure experienced by blockchain nodes.
