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

Direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation is the preliminary stage of communication, localization, and sensing. Hence, it is a canonical task for next-generation wireless communications, namely beyond 5G (B5G) or 6G communication networks. Both massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and millimeter wave (mmW) bands are emerging technologies that can be implemented to increase the spectral efficiency of an area, and a number of expectations have been placed on them for future-generation wireless communications. Meanwhile, they also create new challenges for DOA estimation, for instance, through extremely large-scale array data, the coexistence of far-field and near-field sources, mutual coupling effects, and complicated spatial-temporal signal sampling. This article discusses various open issues related to DOA estimation for B5G/6G communication networks. Moreover, some insights on current advances, including arrays, models, sampling, and algorithms, are provided. Finally, directions for future work on the development of DOA estimation are addressed.
