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

This work presents a novel landing assistance system (LAS) capable of locating a drone for a safe landing after its inspection mission. The location of the drone is achieved by a fusion of ultra-wideband (UWB), inertial measurement unit (IMU) and magnetometer data. Unlike other typical landing assistance systems, the UWB fixed sensors are placed around a 2 × 2 m landing platform and two tags are attached to the drone. Since this type of set-up is suboptimal for UWB location systems, a new positioning algorithm is proposed for a correct performance. First, an extended Kalman filter (EKF) algorithm is used to calculate the position of each tag, and then both positions are combined for a more accurate and robust localisation. As a result, the obtained positioning errors can be reduced by 50% compared to a typical UWB-based landing assistance system. Moreover, due to the small demand of space, the proposed landing assistance system can be used almost anywhere and is deployed easily.
