Zigbee-Based Wireless Sensor Network of MEMS Accelerometers for Pavement Monitoring.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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 this paper, we propose a wireless sensor network for pavement health monitoring exploiting the Zigbee technology. Accelerometers are adopted to measure local accelerations linked to pavement vibrations, which are then converted into displacements by a signal processing algorithm. Each device consists of an on-board unit buried in the roadway and a roadside unit. The on-board unit comprises a microcontroller, an accelerometer and a Zigbee module that transfers acceleration data wirelessly to the roadside unit. The roadside unit consists of a Raspberry Pi, a Zigbee module and a USB Zigbee adapter. Laboratory tests were conducted using a vibration table and with three different accelerometers, to assess the system capability. A typical displacement signal from a five-axle truck was applied to the vibration table with two different displacement peaks, allowing for two different vehicle speeds. The prototyped system was then encapsulated in PVC packaging, deployed and tested in a real-life road situation with a fatigue carousel featuring rotating truck axles. The laboratory and on-road measurements show that displacements can be estimated with an accuracy equivalent to that of a reference sensor.
