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 visual-inertial odometer is used to fuse the image information obtained by a vision sensor with the data measured by an inertial sensor and recover the motion track online in a global frame. However, in an indoor environment, geometric transformation, sparse features, illumination changes, blurring, and noise will occur, which will either cause a reduction in or failure of the positioning accuracy. To solve this problem, a map matching algorithm based on an indoor plane structure map is proposed to improve the positioning accuracy of the system; this algorithm was implemented using a conditional random field model. The output of the attitude information from the visual-inertial odometer was used as the input of the conditional random field model. The feature function between the attitude information and the expected value was established, and the maximum probabilistic value of the attitude was estimated. Finally, the closed-loop feedback correction of the visual-inertial system was carried out with the probabilistic attitude value. A number of experiments were designed to verify the feasibility and reliability of the positioning method proposed in this paper.
