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
Passive radio frequency identification (RFID) sensing systems integrate wireless energy transfer with information identification. However, conventional passive RFID systems still face three key challenges in practical applications: low RF energy harvesting efficiency, high power consumption of sensor loads, and high complexity of tag anti-collision algorithms. To address these issues, this paper proposes a hardware-software co-optimized RFID sensor system. For hardware, low threshold RF Schottky diodes are selected, and an input inductor is introduced into the voltage multiplier rectifier to boost the signal amplitude, thereby enhancing the radio frequency to direct current (RF-DC) energy conversion efficiency. In terms of loading, a low-power management strategy is implemented for the power supply and control logic of the sensor node to minimize the overall system energy consumption. For algorithmic implementation, a Dual-Threshold Stepped Dynamic Frame Slotted ALOHA (DTS-DFSA) anti-collision algorithm is proposed, which adaptively adjusts the frame length based on the observed collision ratio, eliminating the need for complex tag population estimation. The algorithm features low computational complexity and is well suited for resource constrained embedded platforms. Through simulation validation, we compare the conversion efficiency of the RF energy harvesting circuit before and after improvement, the current of the sensor load in active and idle states, and the performance of the proposed algorithm against the low-complexity DFSA (LC-DFSA). The results show that the maximum conversion efficiency of the improved RF energy harvesting circuit has increased from 60.56% to 68.69%; specifically, the sensor load current drastically drops from approximately 2.0 mA in the active state to around 74 μA in the idle state, validating the efficacy of the proposed power gating strategy, and the proposed DTS-DFSA algorithm outperforms existing low-complexity schemes in both identification efficiency and computational complexity.
