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

Trusted positioning data are very important for the fusion of Bluetooth fingerprint positioning (BFP) and Wi-Fi fingerprint positioning (WFP). This paper proposes an adaptive Bluetooth/Wi-Fi fingerprint positioning method based on Gaussian process regression (GPR) and relative distance (RD), which can choose trusted positioning results for fusion. In the offline stage, measurements of the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi received signal strength (RSS) were collected to construct Bluetooth and Wi-Fi fingerprint databases, respectively. Then, fingerprint positioning error prediction models were built with GPR and data from the fingerprint databases. In the online stage, online Bluetooth and Wi-Fi RSS readings were matched with the fingerprint databases to get a Bluetooth fingerprint positioning result (BFPR) and a Wi-Fi fingerprint positioning result (WFPR). Then, with the help of RD and fingerprint positioning error prediction models, whether the positioning results are trusted was determined. The trusted result is selected as the position estimation result when there is only one trusted positioning result among the BFPR and WFPR. The mean is chosen as the position estimation result when both the BFPR and WFPR results are trusted or untrusted. Experimental results showed that the proposed method was better than BFP and WFP, with a mean positioning error of 2.06 m and a root-mean-square error of 1.449 m.
