ENCORE: an energy-efficient cluster-based multi-hop routing framework for WNSNs in IoNT.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. 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
The internet of nano-things (IoNT) uses wireless nano-sensor networks (WNSNs) with stringent network limitations for its many applications, such as biological monitoring and environmental sensing. Network lifetime and communication reliability are fundamentally limited by the ultra-restricted onboard energy of nano-sensor nodes and the absence of post-deployment energy replenishment. This study proposes Energy-efficient Network Clustering and Optimized Routing based on Environments (ENCORE), an energy-aware clustering and multi-hop routing framework for dense three-dimensional WNSNs. ENCORE employs topology-adaptive cluster-head selection based on residual energy and sink proximity, together with a structured, sink-oriented, loop-free multi-hop backbone to balance communication load and mitigate premature node depletion. Network behaviour is evaluated using a pulse-oriented nano-communication energy model capturing continuous energy degradation. Simulation results across multiple randomized deployments show that ENCORE improves network lifetime, residual energy retention, and packet delivery compared with Flooding (FLD), LGN, and DEEPNT, achieving up to a 45% lifetime improvement over DEEPNT and nearly a threefold gain over LGN.
