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

Numerous protocols have emerged to address the energy depletion problem in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Among these protocols, the Dynamic Multi-Hop Routing (DMR) protocol adopts a dynamic technique for routing data across the network. The use of the DMR protocol has shown promising results in reducing energy consumption, prolonging the network lifetime, and increasing throughput. To improve the performance of WSNs, this paper proposes the Enhanced Dynamic Multi-Hop Routing (EDMR) protocol as a modification of the DMR protocol. The EDMR protocol introduces an effective sleeping mechanism that selectively deactivates clusters that do not generate significantly updated data for a specific duration. This mechanism reduces redundant transmissions, thereby saving energy and prolonging the network lifetime. The EDMR protocol incorporates static and dynamic approaches to support two major categories of applications: monitoring and event-driven applications. The proposed protocol is evaluated against the DMR protocol, the Enhanced Dynamic Multi-Hop Technique (EMDHT-LEACH) protocol, and the Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) protocol. The simulation results demonstrate that the EDMR protocol mitigates energy depletion, extends the network lifetime, increases stability, and improves network throughput toward the Base Station (BS), while reducing packet redundancy compared with the other protocols.
