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

Aiming to improve the positioning accuracy of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarm under different scenarios, a two-case navigation scheme is proposed and simulated. First, when the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is available, the inertial navigation system (INS)/GNSS-integrated system based on the Kalman Filter (KF) plays a key role for each UAV in accurate navigation. Considering that Kalman filter's process noise covariance matrix Q and observation noise covariance matrix R affect the navigation accuracy, this paper proposes a dynamic adaptive Kalman filter (DAKF) which introduces ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) to determine R and adjust Q adaptively, avoiding the degradation and divergence caused by an unknown or inaccurate noise model. Second, a network navigation algorithm (NNA) is employed when GNSS outages happen and the INS/GNSS-integrated system is not available. Distance information among all UAVs in the swarm is adopted to compensate the INS position errors. Finally, simulations are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, results showing that DAKF improves the positioning accuracy of a single UAV by 30-50%, and NNA increases the positioning accuracy of a swarm by 93%.
