Smartphone Positioning and Accuracy Analysis Based on Real-Time Regional Ionospheric Correction Model.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
As one of the main errors that affects Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positioning accuracy, ionospheric delay also affects the improvement of smartphone positioning accuracy. The current ionospheric error correction model used in smartphones has a certain time delay and low accuracy, which is difficult to meet the needs of real-time positioning of smartphones. This article proposes a method to use the real-time regional ionospheric model retrieved from the regional Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) observation data to correct the GNSS positioning error of the smartphone. To verify the accuracy of the model, using the posterior grid as the standard, the electron content error of the regional ionospheric model is less than 5 Total Electron Content Unit (TECU), which is about 50% higher than the Klobuchar model, and to further evaluate the impact of the regional ionosphere model on the real-time positioning accuracy of smartphones, carrier-smoothing pseudorange and single-frequency Precise Point Positioning (PPP) tests were carried out. The results show that the real-time regional ionospheric model can significantly improve the positioning accuracy of smartphones, especially in the elevation direction. Compared with the Klobuchar model, the improvement effect is more than 34%, and the real-time regional ionospheric model also shortens the convergence time of the elevation direction to 1 min. (The convergence condition is that the range of continuous 20 s is less than 0.5 m).
