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
The article presents results of research on the influence of changes in parameters of the digitally recorded echo signals on the uncertainty of pulsed Time-of-Flight (p-ToF) laser distance measurements. The main objective of the study was to evaluate the distance calculation method developed by the authors. This method is based on the acquisition of the full-waveform of the echo pulse signal and approximation of its shape by the second-degree polynomial (we called it SDPA for short). To determine the pulse transit time and measure the distance, the position of the vertex of this parabola is sought. This position represents the maximum intensity of the incoming echo signal and is related to the round-trip propagation time of the laser pulse. In the presented work, measurement uncertainty was evaluated using simulation tests for various parameters of the echo pulse. All obtained results were used to formulate the general relationship between the measurement uncertainty of the SDPA algorithm and the parameters of the received echo signals. This formula extends the base knowledge in the domain of laser p-ToF distance measurements. It can be used to estimate the measurement uncertainty of a FW LiDAR at an early design stage. This greatly improves capabilities of analysis of expected performance of the device. It can also be implemented directly into the rangefinder's measurement algorithm to estimate the measurement uncertainty based on the emission of a single pulse rather than a series of pulses.
