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

Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) face critical challenges in achieving energy efficiency, security, and real-time reliability for continuous biomedical monitoring, as conventional protocols are hindered by energy constraints, vulnerability to cyberattacks, and high latency. To address these limitations, this paper proposes QuanBioTrust, a novel, integrated framework that fuses quantum-enhanced optimization, bio-inspired intelligence, and a dynamic zero-trust security model to create a scalable, secure, and self-sustaining WBAN architecture. QuanBioTrust leverages Quantum Particle Swarm Optimization (QPSO) with quantum entanglement to optimize cluster head (CH) selection by concurrently evaluating residual energy, sink proximity, trust score, and bio-energy harvesting potential (20-50 µW), reducing computational complexity to ~ 500 operations per round, a 28-45% improvement over HCEL (~ 700 ops) and EGWO (~ 1000 ops). Inspired by natural systems, the framework employs flocking algorithms for mobility-adaptive clustering, firefly synchronization for efficient multi-hop fractal routing (3-5 paths), and slime mold-inspired data fusion to achieve 50-70% compression of ECG packets (200-bit → 80-bit), drastically reducing transmission energy. The framework maintains a Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) of 97% under normal conditions (90% under attack) and an end-to-end latency of 48 ms (185 ms under attack), well below the 250 ms threshold for real-time monitoring, outperforming EAFST (1000/1200 ms) and rivaling EDC-ER (50/180 ms). This quantum-biological fusion establishes a new paradigm for next-generation WBANs, offering a robust, energy-efficient, and resilient solution for secure, long-term, real-time healthcare monitoring.
