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

IoT devices are typically resource-constrained, with limited computational power, storage, and energy. Holochain, an emerging distributed ledger technology (DLT), offers the benefits of blockchain while overcoming its limitations, such as the reliance on consensus algorithms and a globally synchronized ledger. As a result, Holochain has garnered attention in the research community as a promising solution for distributed IoT applications. This paper reviews various DLTs in IoT distributed networks, focusing on the motivation for utilizing Holochain in these environments. We explore its key applications, challenges, and research insights. We propose the
