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

A distributed single-input multiple-output (SIMO) sonar system is composed of a sound source and multiple underwater receivers. It provides an important framework for underwater target localization. However, underwater hostile environments bring more challenges for underwater target localization than terrestrial target localization, such as the difficulties of synchronizing all the underwater receiver clocks, the varying underwater sound speed and the uncertainties of the locations of the underwater receivers. In this paper, we take the sound speed variation, the time synchronization and the uncertainties of the receiver locations into account, and propose the underwater target localization and synchronization (UTLS) algorithm for the distributed SIMO sonar system. In the distributed SIMO sonar system, the receivers are organized in a star topology, where the information fusion is carried out in the central receiver (CR). All the receivers are not synchronized and their positions are known with uncertainties. Moreover, the underwater sound speed is approximately modeled by a depth-dependent sound speed profile (SSP). We evaluate our proposed UTLS algorithm by comparing it with several benchmark algorithms via numerical simulations. The simulation results reveal the superiority of our proposed UTLS algorithm.
