Radon Exposure Assessment: IoT-Embedded Sensors.
Review in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Radon exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer worldwide, yet monitoring strategies remain limited, expensive, and unevenly applied. Recent advances in the Internet of Things (IoT) offer the potential to change radon surveillance through low-cost, real-time, distributed sensing networks. This review consolidates emerging research on IoT-based radon monitoring, drawing from both primary radon studies and analogous applications in environmental IoT. A search across six major databases and relevant grey literature yielded only five radon-specific IoT studies, underscoring how new this research field is rather than reflecting a shortcoming of the review. To enhance the analysis, we delve into sensor physics, embedded system design, wireless protocols, and calibration techniques, incorporating lessons from established IoT sectors like indoor air quality, industrial safety, and volcanic gas monitoring. This interdisciplinary approach reveals that many technical and logistical challenges, such as calibration drift, power autonomy, connectivity, and scalability, have been addressed in related fields and can be adapted for radon monitoring. By uniting pioneering efforts within the broader context of IoT-enabled environmental sensing, this review provides a reference point and a future roadmap. It outlines key research priorities, including large-scale validation, standardized calibration methods, AI-driven analytics integration, and equitable deployment strategies. Although radon-focused IoT research is still at an early stage, current progress suggests it could make continuous exposure assessment more reliable, affordable, and widely accessible with clear public health benefits.
