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

With the rapid development of communication technology in recent years, Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has become a promising research project. WSN is widely applied in a number of fields such as military, environmental monitoring, space exploration and so on. The non-line-of-sight (NLOS) localization is one of the most essential techniques for WSN. However, the NLOS propagation of WSN is largely influenced by many factors. Hence, a triple filters mixed Kalman Filter (KF) and Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) voting algorithm based on Fuzzy-C-Means (FCM) and residual analysis (TF-FCM) has been proposed to cope with this problem. Firstly, an NLOS identification algorithm based on residual analysis is used to identify NLOS errors. Then, an NLOS correction algorithm based on voting and NLOS errors classification algorithm based on FCM are used to process the NLOS measurements. Hard NLOS measurements and soft NLOS measurements are classified by FCM classification. Secondly, KF and UKF are applied to filter two categories of NLOS measurements. Thirdly, maximum likelihood localization (ML) is employed to estimate the position of mobile nodes. The simulation result confirms that the accuracy and robustness of TF-FCM are better than IMM, UKF and KF. Finally, an experiment is conducted to test and verify our algorithm which obtains higher localization accuracy.
