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

Nested arrays are considered attractive due to their hole-free performance, and have the ability to resolve O ( N 2 ) sources with O ( N ) physical sensors. Inspired by nested arrays, two kinds of three-parallel nested subarrays (TPNAs), which are composed of three parallel sparse linear subarrays with different inter-element spacings, are proposed for two-dimensional (2-D) direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation in this paper. We construct two cross-correlation matrices and combine them as one augmented matrix in the first step. Then, by vectorizing the augmented matrix, a hole-free difference coarray with larger degrees of freedom (DOFs) is achieved. Meanwhile, sparse representation and the total least squares technique are presented to transform the problem of 2-D DOA searching into 1-D searching. Accordingly, we can obtain the paired 2-D angles automatically and improve the 2-D DOA estimation performance. In addition, we derive closed form expressions of sensor positions, as well as number of sensors for different subarrays of two kinds of TPNA to maximize the DOFs. In the end, the simulation results verify the superiority of the proposed TPNAs and 2-D DOA estimation method.
