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

A wide variety of sensors and devices are used in indoor positioning scenarios to improve localization accuracy and overcome harsh radio propagation conditions. The availability of these individual sensors suggests the idea of sensor fusion to achieve a more accurate solution. This work aims to address, with the goal of improving localization accuracy, the fusion of two conventional candidates for indoor positioning scenarios: Ultra Wide Band (UWB) and Wireless Fidelity (WiFi). The proposed method consists of a Machine Learning (ML)-based enhancement of WiFi measurements, environment observation, and sensor fusion. In particular, the proposed algorithm takes advantage of Received Signal Strength (RSS) values to fuse range measurements utilizing a Gaussian Process (GP). The range values are calculated using the WiFi Round Trip Time (RTT) and UWB Two Way Ranging (TWR) methods. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, trilateration is used for positioning. Furthermore, empirical range measurements are obtained to investigate and validate the proposed approach. The results prove that UWB and WiFi, working together, can compensate for each other's limitations and, consequently, provide a more accurate position solution.
