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

Against the backdrop of the commercialization of 5G-Advanced (5G-A) and the conceptualization of 6G, the Mobile Information Network (MINet)-a futuristic network paradigm centered on extreme connectivity and multi-dimensional integration-has emerged to transcend the limitations of traditional mobile networks, which focus solely on isolated communication services. MINet is designed to support the full lifecycle of information services, integrating communication with advanced computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and big data to achieve ubiquitous extreme connectivity and deliver integrated information services encompassing different elements. At its core, MINet's competitive edge lies in the "One Extreme and Three Integrations" framework: this framework takes "ubiquitous extreme connectivity" as the foundational performance pillar and relies on three functional directions: "communication-sensing-computing-intelligence convergence," "space-terrestrial integration," and "digital-physical integration". To operationalize this framework, DOICT (Data, Operation, Intelligence, Computing, and Telecommunication) convergence serves as a critical enabler: it underpins the design of MINet's scalable core networks and edge intelligence systems, while supporting key technological innovations. This paper reviews the foundational theories, network architectures, key technologies, and devices driving the development of MINet, and also highlights critical challenges in MINet's development, including design considerations, application requirements, sustainable and low-carbon. Ultimately, as MINet evolves from 5G-A to 6G, the synergy of its core paradigm (MINet), technical framework ("One Extreme and Three Integrations"), and enabling mechanism (DOICT convergence) will bridge the physical and digital worlds, fostering transformative applications in immersive experiences, industrial automation, and smart society.
