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

With the development of society, the application of mobile robots in industry and life is increasingly extensive, and the local path planning of mobile robots in unknown environments is a problem that needs to be solved. Aiming at the problem that the traditional beetle antennae search (BAS) algorithm can easily fall into local optimum and the optimization accuracy is low, we propose an improved beetle antennae search. It introduces a map safety threshold, the addition of virtual target points, and the smoothing of the path. Map safety threshold means extra space with obstacles at all times, improving path reliability by avoiding collisions. Adding virtual target points reduces situations where the vehicle gets stuck in local optima. The B-spline smoothing path reduces the original path's straight turns to improve the path's robustness. The effectiveness and superiority of the algorithm are verified by comparing and testing the existing path planning algorithms through simulation in different environments.
