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

Bridge Structural Health Monitoring (BSHM) is vital for assessing structural integrity and operational safety. Traditional wired systems are limited by high installation costs and complexity, while existing wireless systems still face issues with cost, synchronization, and reliability. Moreover, cloud-based methods for extreme event detection struggle to meet real-time and bandwidth constraints in edge environments. To address these challenges, this study proposes a lightweight wireless BSHM system based on edge computing, enabling local data acquisition and real-time intelligent detection of extreme events. The system consists of wireless sensor nodes for front-end acceleration data collection and an intelligent hub for data storage, visualization, and earthquake recognition. Acceleration data are converted into time-frequency images to train a MobileNetV2-based model. With model quantization and Neural Processing Unit (NPU) acceleration, efficient on-device inference is achieved. Experiments on a laboratory steel bridge verify the system's high acquisition accuracy, precise clock synchronization, and strong anti-interference performance. Compared with inference on a general-purpose ARM CPU running the unquantized model, the quantized model deployed on the NPU achieves a 26× speedup in inference, a 35% reduction in power consumption, and less than 1% accuracy loss. This solution provides a cost-effective, reliable BSHM framework for small-to-medium-sized bridges, offering local intelligence and rapid response with strong potential for real-world applications.
