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

The concept of the Marine Autonomous Surface Ship (MASS) requires new solutions in many areas: from law, through economics, social sciences, environmental issues to the technology and even ethics. It also plays a central role in the work of numerous research teams dealing with the ship motion control systems. This article presents the results of the experiments with application of the selected control methods in automatic steering of the movement of an autonomous ship in the two regimes: during the maneuvers at low speed (in a harbor confined waters) and during the lake trials in open water conditions. In the first case, multidimensional state controller synthesized with Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMI) algorithms was used, while, in the second case, Model Predictive Control (MPC) control was adopted. The object for which the experiments were carried out was 1:24 scale model of the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) carrier. The paper presents also the design of the measurement and control system and the user interface. The experiments were conducted in the natural conditions on the lake. The results of the experiments indicate the fundamental role of the measurement system in the process of controlling an autonomous ship.
