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

Laser-tracking measurement systems (laser tracker) have been playing a critical role in large-scale 3D high-precision coordinate measurement. However, the existing visual guidance of laser trackers is still limited by the disadvantages of operator-dependence, small-angle view field, time-consuming laser-guided process. This paper presents an automatic guidance method for laser trackers based on the rotary-laser scanning angle measurement technology. In this method, a special target consisting of six photoelectric receivers and a retroreflector is integrated into the rotary-laser scanning transmitter' coordinate systems. Real-time constraints calculated by the proposed method would provide the coordinates of the target in a laser tracker coordinates system for guidance. Finally, the experimental results verified the automatic re-establish of sightline can be realized in horizontal 360° angle field within tens of arc-seconds, and this method is robust against the fast movement of the target.
