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

The muometric wireless navigation system (MuWNS) is a technology enabling signal reception for machine controlling and communication systems underground where a radio or GPS signal would normally be lost. The penetrative power of muons in rock allows signal transmission from the surface down to 1.5-2.0 km of depth on Earth, depending on rock density. Such a depth would not be easily reached on the Moon and Mars, but an inflatable structure containing an artificial atmosphere would allow the muon production necessary for a thorough exploration and suitability assessment of existing lava tubes or borehole excavation to host a base. The density maps obtained by muography can also show the eventual presence of valuable metals, minerals, or water ice for
