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

Assuming that the measurement and process noise covariances are known, the probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter is effective in real-time multi-target tracking; however, noise covariance is often unknown and time-varying for an actual scene. To solve this problem, a strong tracking PHD filter based on Variational Bayes (VB) approximation is proposed in this paper. The measurement noise covariance is described in the linear system by the inverse Wishart (IW) distribution. Then, the fading factor in the strong tracking principle uses the optimal measurement noise covariance at the previous moment to control the state prediction covariance in real-time. The Gaussian IW (GIW) joint distribution adopts the VB approximation to jointly return the measurement noise covariance and the target state covariance. The simulation results show that, compared with the traditional Gaussian mixture PHD (GM-PHD) and the VB-adaptive PHD, the proposed algorithm has higher tracking accuracy and stronger robustness in a more reasonable calculation time.
