Accurate Channel Estimation and Adaptive Underwater Acoustic Communications Based on Gaussian Likelihood and Constellation Aggregation.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Achieving accurate channel estimation and adaptive communications with moving transceivers is challenging due to rapid changes in the underwater acoustic channels. We achieve an accurate channel estimation of fast time-varying underwater acoustic channels by using the superimposed training scheme with a powerful channel estimation algorithm and turbo equalization, where the training sequence and the symbol sequence are linearly superimposed. To realize this, we develop a 'global' channel estimation algorithm based on Gaussian likelihood, where the channel correlation between (among) the segments is fully exploited by using the product of the Gaussian probability-density functions of the segments, thereby realizing an ideal channel estimation of each segment. Moreover, the Gaussian-likelihood-based channel estimation is embedded in turbo equalization, where the information exchange between the equalizer and the decoder is carried out in an iterative manner to achieve an accurate channel estimation of each segment. In addition, an adaptive communication algorithm based on constellation aggregation is proposed to resist the severe fast time-varying multipath interference and environmental noise, where the encoding rate is automatically determined for reliable underwater acoustic communications according to the constellation aggregation degree of equalization results. Field experiments with moving transceivers (the communication distance was approximately 5.5 km) were carried out in the Yellow Sea in 2021, and the experimental results verify the effectiveness of the two proposed algorithms.
