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

Biological systems can exhibit intelligent swarm behavior through relatively independent individual, local interaction and decentralized decision-making. A major research challenge of self-organized swarm intelligence is the coupling influences between individual behaviors. Existing methods optimize the behavior of multiple individuals simultaneously from a global perspective. However, these methods lack in-depth inspiration from swarm behaviors in nature, so they are short of flexibly adapting to real multi-robot online decision-making tasks. To overcome such limits, this paper proposes a self-organized collision avoidance model for real drones incorporating a bio-inspired reward-modulated spiking neural network (RSNN). The local interaction and autonomous learning of a single individual leads to the emergence of swarm intelligence. We validated the proposed model on swarm collision avoidance tasks (a swarm of unmanned aerial vehicles without central control) in a bounded space, carrying out simulation and real-world experiments. Compared with artificial neural network-based online learning methods, our proposed method exhibits superior performance and better stability.
