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

Night-light remote sensing imaging technologies have increasingly attracted attention with the development and application of focal plane arrays. On-orbit signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) test is an important link to evaluate night-light camera's radiometric performance and the premise for quantitative application of remote sensing imageries. Under night-light illumination conditions, the illuminance of ground objects is very low and varies dramatically, the spatial uniformity of each pixel's output cannot be guaranteed, and thus the traditional on-orbit test methods represented by variance method are unsuitable for low-resolution night-light cameras. To solve this problem, we proposed an effective on-orbit SNR test method based on consecutive time-sequence images that including the same objects. We analyzed the radiative transfer process between night-light camera and objects, and established a theoretical SNR model based on analysis of the generation and main sources of signal electrons and noise electrons. Finally, we took Luojia 1-01 satellite, the world's first professional night-light remote sensing satellite, as reference and calculated the theoretical SNR and actual on-orbit SNR using consecutive images captured by Luojia 1-01 satellite. The actual results show the similar characteristics as theoretical results, and are higher than the theoretical results within the reasonable error tolerance, which fully guarantee the detection ability of night-light camera and verify the validity of this time-sequence-based method.
