Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Self-localization is the capability of a wireless sensor network (WSN) to estimate the location coordinates of a given target node (TN), using the location knowledge of few anchor node (AN)s. The ANs are the sensor nodes installed with GPS modules, and their locations are known in prior. Precision improvement of the TN's location is an important issue for effective data transmission in WSNs. Localization draws attention in location aware applications like nuclear attacks, object tracking, healthcare, supply chain management, biological attacks, and traffic monitoring, etc. In this article, a weight based AN selection strategy in localization algorithm for WSNs is proposed, which uses only four ANs where each one is installed with GPS module, and deployed within the sensing area. The weights are assigned to ANs depend on the distance between ANs and TNs to mitigate the effect of noise due to spatial and temporal changes in the sensing area. The proposed method uses improved cuckoo search algorithm, which is a nature inspired optimization technique to address the anisotropic nature of WSNs, and compute global optimal location coordinates of TNs. It also enhances the localization accuracy compared to the nascent localization algorithms in WSNs. Rigorous simulations are conducted to prove the efficiency of the proposed method using the performance metrics as number of ANs, mean localization accuracy, and communication range. Based on the simulation results, the localization accuracy of the proposed CERBLA algorithm is increased to 99.24% and the range measurement error is minimized to 1.18 m. The localization accuracy using the CERBLA algorithm is enhanced by 25.32%, 25.19%, 21.47%, 128.21%, 84.48%, and 181.35% compared to DCK-GWO, WOA-QT, DECPSODV-Hop, ECS-NL, QABA, and IDE-NSL-AWSN algorithms respectively. The performance of the CERBLA is outperforming the existing algorithms particularly, when the number of ANs are less than ten, and this feature is attractive to build cost-effective localization algorithms for indoor applications of WSNs.
