Measuring Erlang-Based Scalability and Fault Tolerance on the Edge.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Embedded systems in IoT are expected to be run by reliable, resource-efficient software. Devices on the edge are typically required to communicate with central nodes, and in some setups with each other, constituting a distributed system. The Erlang language, favored for its constructs that support building fault-tolerant, distributed systems, offers solutions to these challenges. Its dynamic type system and higher-level abstractions enable fast development, while also featuring tools for building highly available and fault-tolerant applications. To study the viability of using Erlang in embedded systems, we analyze the solutions the language offers, contrasting them with the challenges of developing embedded systems, with a particular focus on resource use. We measure the footprint of the language's constructs in executing tasks characteristic of end devices, such as gathering, processing and transmitting sensor data. We conduct our experiments with constructs and data of varying sizes to account for the diversity in software complexity of real-world applications. Our measured data can serve as a basis for future research, supporting the design of the software stack for embedded systems. Our results demonstrate that Erlang is an ideal technology for implementing software on embedded systems and a suitable candidate for developing a prototype for a real-world use case.
