MARINS: A Mobile Smartphone AR System for Pathfinding in a Dark Environment.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Traditional egress routes are normally indicated on floor plans and function as designed, assuming that people can identify their relative location and orientation. However, the evacuation process can easily become complicated in a dark or hazardous environment with potential blockage of unexpected obstacles. This study developed the mobile AR indoor navigation system (MARINS) using a smartphone as a device to guide users to exits in a 0-lux setting with the path only illuminated by the phone camera's LED. The system is developed using Apple ARKit SDK with the associated simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) function on a Unity platform in four modules. A maze scenario is planned in an environment built by carton walls. Time and distance traveled by the experimental group and the control group are measured. The results of statistical analysis demonstrate that the MARINS system can reduce travel time in known space and in total summation compared to the application of a traditional map. The system also reduces travel distance and misjudgments with higher system usability than the application of a traditional map.
