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

This article proposes an improved Visible Light Communication (VLC) solution that, besides the indoor lighting and data transfer, offers an energy-efficient alternative for modern workspaces. Unlike Light-Fidelity (LiFi), designed for high-speed data communication, VLC primarily targets applications where fast data rates are not essential. The developed prototype ensures reliable communication under variable lighting conditions, addressing low-speed requirements such as test bench monitoring, occupancy detection, remote commands, logging or access control. Although the tested data rate was limited to 100 kb/s with a Bit Error Rate (BER) below 10
