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

Monitoring the curing process of concrete remains a challenging and critical aspect of modern construction, often hindered by labour-intensive, invasive, and inflexible methods. The primary aim of this study is to develop an integrated IoT-enabled platform for automated, real-time monitoring of concrete curing, using a combination of LoRa-based sensor networks and an LTE-M backhaul. The resulting ConMonity system employs embedded multi-sensor nodes-capable of measuring strain, temperature, and humidity-connected via an energy-efficient, TDMA-based LoRa wireless protocol to an LTE-M gateway with cloud-based management and analytics. By employing a robust architecture with battery-powered embedded nodes and adaptive firmware, ConMonity enables multi-modal, multi-site assessments and demonstrates stable, autonomous operation over multi-modal, multi-site assessment and demonstrates stable, autonomous operation over multi-month field deployments. Measured data are transmitted in a compact binary MQTT format, optimising cellular bandwidth and allowing secure, remote access via a dedicated mobile application. Operation in laboratory construction environments indicates that ConMonity outperforms conventional and earlier wireless monitoring systems in scalability and automation, delivering actionable real-time data and proactive alerts. The platform establishes a foundation for intelligent, scalable, and cost-effective monitoring of concrete curing, with future work focused on extending sensor modalities and enhancing resilience under diverse site conditions.
