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

In this paper, a non-iterative blind calibration algorithm for gain-phase errors is proposed. A mixing matrix is first obtained from the received observation data through blind signal separation. The mixing matrix is the product of the gain-phase error matrix and the ideal array manifold matrix. Then, a spatial spectrum is constructed by using the estimated mixed matrix. The direction corresponding to the maximum point of the spectral function is proved to be the azimuth of a certain source. Therefore, after the direction-of-arrival (DOA) is obtained by a one-dimensional spectrum search, the active calibration method can be used to estimate the gain-phase errors. The proposed algorithm is not limited to the calibration for uniform linear array (ULA), but also applicable to a non-uniform linear array. Moreover, the estimation performance of the algorithm will not be affected by the magnitude of the gain errors. Some simulations are given to verify the effectiveness and performance of the algorithm.
