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 modern aerospace systems, effective sensor optimisation is essential for ensuring reliable diagnostics, efficient resource allocation, and proactive maintenance. This paper presents Normalised Diagnostic Contribution Index (NDCI) integration into the Multi-Objective Sensor Optimisation Framework (MOSOF) to address application-specific performance nuances. Building on previous work, the proposed approach leverages a multi-objective genetic algorithm to optimise key criteria, including performance, cost, reliability management, and compatibility. NDCI is derived from simulation data obtained via the Boeing 737-800 Environmental Control System (ECS) using the SESAC platform, where degradation level readings across four fault modes are analysed. The framework evaluates sensor performance from the perspectives of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM), Airlines, and Maintenance Repair Overhaul (MRO) organisations. Validation against the Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance (mRMR) method highlights the distinct advantage of NDCI by identifying an optimal set of three sensors compared to mRMR's six-sensor solution, and MOSOF's multi-objective insertion enhances sensor deployment for different stakeholders. This integration not only expands the feasible solution space for sensor-pair configurations but also emphasises diagnostic value over redundancy. Overall, the enhanced NDCI-MOSOF offers a scalable, multi-stakeholder approach for next-generation sensor optimisation and predictive maintenance in complex aerospace systems. The results demonstrate significant improvements in diagnostics efficiency for stakeholders.
