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

This paper addresses the problem of localization accuracy degradation caused by outliers of the angle of arrival (AOA). The problem of outlier detection of the AOA is converted into the detection of the estimated source position sets, which are obtained by the proposed division and greedy replacement method. The Mahalanobis distance based on robust mean and covariance matrix estimation method is then introduced to identify the outliers from the position sets. Finally, the weighted least squares method based on the reliable probabilities and distances is proposed for source localization. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms representative methods when unreliable AOAs are present.
