On the performance of active RIS-enhanced NOMA systems with spectrum sharing mechanisms.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
This paper presents a comprehensive performance analysis of a downlink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) network assisted by an active reconfigurable intelligent surface (ARIS) in a cognitive spectrum-sharing scenario. Unlike conventional passive RIS (PRIS), the ARIS can both adjust phase shifts and amplify incident signals, thereby mitigating inter-user interference and overcoming multiplicative fading. We consider a two-user secondary network coexisting with a primary user, where the base station communicates with the secondary users via the ARIS. Closed-form expressions for the outage probability (OP), throughput, energy efficiency (EE), and an approximation for the ergodic data rate (EDR) are derived under Nakagami-m fading, along with asymptotic OP analysis to reveal the achievable diversity order. We also formulate and solve an optimization problem for the NOMA power allocation coefficient to minimize OP. The main contributions are: (i) proposing an ARIS-assisted NOMA architecture for spectrum-sharing networks and comparing it with PRIS and orthogonal multiple access (OMA) schemes; (ii) deriving exact OP, throughput, and EE expressions, and an approximate EDR expression, validated by Monte Carlo simulations; (iii) providing asymptotic OP analysis to characterize the diversity order; and (iv) optimizing NOMA power allocation to minimize OP. Numerical results confirm that ARIS significantly outperforms PRIS and OMA in terms of OP, throughput, EC, and EE, demonstrating its potential to enhance spectral efficiency, reliability, and coverage in next-generation spectrum-sharing NOMA networks.
