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
Methods to prevent collisions between people to avoid traffic accidents are receiving significant attention. To measure the position in the non-line-of-sight (NLOS) area, which cannot be directly visually recognized, position-measuring methods use wireless-communication-type GPS and propagation characteristics of radio signals, such as received signal strength indication (RSSI). However, conventional position estimation methods using RSSI require multiple receivers, which decreases the position estimation accuracy, owing to the presence of surrounding buildings. This study proposes a system to solve this challenge using a receiver and position estimation method based on RSSI MAP simulation and particle filter. Moreover, this study utilizes BLE peripheral/central functions capable of advertising as the transmitter/receiver. By using the advertising radio waves, our method provides a framework for estimating the position of unspecified transmitters. The effectiveness of the proposed system is evaluated in this study through simulations and experiments in actual environments. We obtained an error average of the distance to be 1.6 m from the simulations, which shows the precision of the proposed method. In the actual environment, the proposed method showed an error average of the distance to be 3.3 m. Furthermore, we evaluated the accuracy of the proposed method when both the transmitter and receiver are in motion, which can be considered as a moving person in the outdoor NLOS area. The result shows an error of 4.5 m. Consequently, we concluded that the accuracy was comparable when the transmitter is stationary and when it is moving. Compared with conventional path loss, the model can measure distances of 3 m to 10 m, whereas the proposed method can estimate the "position" with the same accuracy in an outdoor environment. In addition, it can be expected to be used as a collision avoidance system that confirms the presence of strangers in the NLOS area.
