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
Multi-hop relaying can solve the problems of limited single-hop wireless communication distance, poor signal quality, or the inability to communicate directly by "relaying" data transmission through multiple intermediate nodes. It serves as the cornerstone for building large-scale, highly reliable, and self-adapting wireless networks, especially for the Internet of Things (IoT) and future 6G. This paper focuses on a decode-and-forward (DF) multi-hop relay network that employs simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) technology, with relays operating in a passive state. We first investigate the optimization of the power splitting (PS) ratio at each relay, given the source node transmit power, to maximize end-to-end network throughput. Subsequently, we jointly optimized the PS ratios and the source transmit power to minimize the source transmit power while satisfying the system's minimum quality of service (QoS) requirement. Although both problems are non-convex, they can be reformulated as convex optimization problems. Closed-form optimal solutions are then derived based on the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions and a recursive method, respectively. Moreover, we find that the closed-form optimal solutions for the PS ratios corresponding to the two problems are identical. Through simulations, we validate that the performance of the two proposed schemes based on the closed-form solutions is optimal, while also demonstrating their extremely fast algorithm execution speeds, thereby proving the deployment value of the two proposed schemes in practical communication scenarios.
