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

Time difference of arrival (TDoA) technology is widely utilized for source localization, which stimulates many studies on performance-evaluation approaches for TDoA localization systems. Some approaches using simulations are designed merely for a simple Line-of-Sight (LoS) scenario while some other ones using experiments show high cost and inefficiency. This paper proposes an integrated approach to evaluate a TDoA localization system in an area with a complicated environment. Radio propagation graph is applied through a simulation to obtain channel impulse responses (CIRs) between a source to be located and the TDoA sensors for the area. Realistic signals received by the sensors in baseband are emulated combining the source transmitted signal and the CIRs. A hardware unit takes charge of sending the radio emulated received signals to the system under test, which is consistent with real experimental measurements. Statistical analysis of the system is allowed based on localization errors obtained comparing the system's estimates with the ground truth of the source location. Verified results for LoS and non-LoS scenarios with variable transmitted signal bandwidths and signal-to-noise ratios, as well as for three variations of the sensor locations in an automobile circuit, show the usability of the proposed experiment-free performance-evaluation approach.
