Distributed Artificial Intelligence for IoT Security: A Structured Review.
Review in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 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 expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) has increased the complexity of securing distributed systems against growing threats to data security, privacy, and reliability. Conventional centralised cybersecurity methods are often insufficient for environments characterised by scale, heterogeneity, and dynamic behaviour. This paper presents a structured review of Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) for IoT security, focusing on how local, cooperative intelligence can support intrusion detection, anomaly recognition, secure data processing, and collaborative defence. We synthesise the current literature on Federated Learning (FL), Multi-Agent Systems, and related approaches, highlighting their benefits, limitations, and practical deployment constraints. Particular attention is given to critical infrastructure contexts, where resilience is essential for operational continuity and public safety. The review concludes by outlining key gaps and future research directions for DAI-enabled IoT security.
