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

An experimental wideband chaotic ground penetrating radar is proposed to locate underground pipes. A chaotic signal with a bandwidth of 1.56 GHz is utilized as the probe signal. The localization of the pipes is achieved by correlating the chaotic echo signal with its delayed duplicate and back-projection algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate that plastic pipe, metallic pipe, and multiple pipes can be located with a range resolution of 10 cm. Limited by the height of the sand, the detectable range is estimated to be 0.7 m for both the plastic pipes and the metallic pipes when the transmitting power is -12 dBm. The proposed system has the potential to detect buried pipes, and it is suitable for geological and civil engineering applications.
