Using Trees as a Natural Weather Station for Wind Pattern Forecasting Applied to Forest Firefighting.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 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
With the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, there is a growing need to develop innovative and accessible methods for environmental monitoring. This work presents a solution based on natural trees equipped with a low-cost embedded system. The innovative idea is that measuring only internal temperature of a tree around its trunk, it is possible to evaluate some weather parameters, such as wind speed and direction. To evaluate this relationship, a multiscale decomposition technique (Discrete Wavelet Transform) and machine learning models (Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, SVM, and Linear Regression) were applied. Among the models tested, Random Forest achieved the best results, demonstrating high accuracy with an error of 6.60% over a continuous monitoring period of 47 days. As an important outcome, the result shows that the proposed tree-based solution is viable for weather monitoring in hard-to-reach places, particularly in the context of forest fire prevention.
