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

Nowadays, there are a multitude of solutions for indoor positioning, as opposed to standards for outdoor positioning such as GPS. Among the different existing studies on indoor positioning, the use of Wi-Fi signals together with Machine Learning algorithms is one of the most important, as it takes advantage of the current deployment of Wi-Fi networks and the increase in the computing power of computers. Thanks to this, the number of articles published in recent years has been increasing. This fact makes a review necessary in order to understand the current state of this field and to classify different parameters that are very useful for future studies. What are the most widely used machine learning techniques? In what situations have they been tested? How accurate are they? Have datasets been properly used? What type of Wi-Fi signals have been used? These and other questions are answered in this analysis, in which 119 papers are analyzed in depth following PRISMA guidelines.
