IoT Sensing for Advanced Irrigation Management: A Systematic Review of Trends, Challenges, and Future Prospects.
Review in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Efficient water management is crucial for sustainable agriculture, and the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in irrigation systems offers innovative solutions to optimize resource use. In this systematic review, the current landscape of Internet of Things (IoT) applications in irrigation management was investigated. The study aimed to identify key research trends and technological developments in the field. Using VOSviewer (CWTS, Leiden, The Netherlands) for bibliometric mapping, the influential research clusters were identified. The analysis revealed a significant rise in scholarly interest, with peak activity between 2020 and 2022, and a shift towards interdisciplinary and applied research. Additionally, the content analysis revealed prevalent agricultural applications, frequently employed microcontroller units (MCUs), widely used sensors, and trends in communication technologies such as the increasing adoption of low-power, scalable communication protocols for real-time data acquisition. This study not only offers a comprehensive overview of the current status of IoT integration in smart irrigation but also highlights the technological advancements. Future research directions include integrating IoT with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, edge computing, and blockchain to enhance decision-support systems and predictive irrigation strategies. By examining the transformative potential of IoT, this study provides valuable insights for researchers and practitioners seeking to enhance agricultural productivity, optimize resource use, and improve sustainability.
