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 direction-of-arrival (DoA) estimation of an acoustic source can be estimated with a uniform linear array using classical techniques such as generalized cross-correlation, beamforming, subspace techniques, etc. However, these methods require a search in the angular space and also have a higher angular error at the end-fire. In this paper, we propose the use of regression techniques to improve the results of DoA estimation at all angles including the end-fire. The proposed methodology employs curve-fitting on the received multi-channel microphone signals, which when applied in tandem with support vector regression (SVR) provides a better estimation of DoA as compared to the conventional techniques and other polynomial regression techniques. A multilevel regression technique is also proposed, which further improves the estimation accuracy at the end-fire. This multilevel regression technique employs the use of linear regression over the results obtained from SVR. The techniques employed here yielded an overall 63% improvement over the classical generalized cross-correlation technique.
