Enhanced hybrid pre-coding and power allocation algorithms for smart irrigation systems using OFDM-based WSNs.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Power allocation combined with pre-coding techniques is still an emerging field, with many challenges yet to be resolved. This paper contributes to filling this gap by proposing and evaluating hybrid algorithms that integrate pre-coding with low-complexity power allocation techniques for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)-based Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) in smart irrigation systems. The use of linear pre-coding provides an efficient and simple solution to mitigate channel fading. By exploiting the channel's frequency selectivity, the power allocation algorithms adjust the modulation type and power distribution for each sub-carrier dynamically. As a result, the proposed hybrid algorithms surpass static schemes, offering notable improvements in system performance. These algorithms adjust both the signal constellation size and power distribution based on the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) values observed across the sub-carriers. Additionally, practical considerations like Rate Maximization (RM) are incorporated to provide flexibility for various application needs. Extensive simulations validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms in minimizing power consumption and boosting performance in OFDM-based WSNs for smart irrigation. Numerically, the proposed algorithms can reduce the required SNR by up to 18 dB for a target throughput of 400 bits/symbol and outperforming conventional algorithms in terms of throughput, energy efficiency, and network lifetime, with the pre-coded Greedy power allocation (pre-GPA) algorithm delivering up to 98.5% throughput and the longest system lifespan.
