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

This research has designed a 360-degree imagery-multisensor system aiming to capture and visualize environmental parameters in architecture and urban spaces. Unlike existing tools, this system enables simultaneous recording of both imagery and non-imagery environmental data, including lighting, thermal, air quality, sound, and physical space parameters, within a 360-degree field of view. Lighting conditions are captured using panoramic high dynamic range imagery, complemented by a 360-degree array of sensors measuring illuminance levels and spectral power distribution. Thermal and air quality conditions are recorded using 360-degree thermal imagery, combined with hygrometers and air particle meters. Sound levels are also monitored across the full 360-degree field. The system is built using 3D printing technologies and Raspberry Pi computers, equipped with various sensor modules. Custom Python scripts enable real-time data capture, processing, and visualization. This cost-effective, easy-to-manufacture, programmable, and customizable innovation is aimed at students and educators in design and architecture, as well as building engineers. Furthermore, integrating imagery and sensor data supports the development of immersive virtual and augmented reality applications, offering new opportunities for education and the exploration of effective design solutions.
