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

The rapid expansion of smart agriculture and precision aquaculture necessitates continuous, high-resolution environmental monitoring to optimize ecosystem stability and prevent catastrophic biomass loss. Conventional Internet of Things (IoT) solutions routinely treat atmospheric and aquatic parameters as isolated domains, neglecting the dynamic physicochemical coupling occurring across the air-water boundary layer. To overcome this domain fragmentation, this study presents an integrated edge-cloud telemetry architecture designed for concurrent, multi-domain environmental monitoring and cross-domain spatial-statistical analysis. The proposed framework employs low-cost, multi-sensor edge nodes integrated with Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) cellular communication, achieving high signal penetration, energy-efficient operation, and direct base-station connectivity without local gateway dependencies. The system continuously acquires atmospheric parameters (temperature, relative humidity, particulate matter PM1.0/PM2.5/PM10, ozone O3, total volatile organic compounds TVOC, equivalent CO2, Air Quality Index AQI, and Ultraviolet Index UVI) alongside aquatic indicators (water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen DO, electrical conductivity EC, and turbidity). Telemetry is streamed via Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) to a centralized MySQL cloud database, providing real-time Grafana dashboards, spatial Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) mapping, and automated multi-channel alerting via LINE Notify and email. The architecture was deployed and validated across the Tunghai University aquatic research facility, capturing
