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

The robotic navigation task is to find a collision-free path among a mass of stationary or migratory obstacles. Various well-established algorithms have been applied to solve navigation tasks. It is necessary to test the performance of designed navigation algorithms in practice. However, it seems an extremely unwise choice to implement them in a real environment directly unless their performance is guaranteed to be acceptable. Otherwise, it takes time to test navigation algorithms because of a long training process, and imperfect performance may cause damage if the robot collides with obstacles. Hence, it is of key significance to develop a mobile robot analysis platform to simulate the real environment which has the ability to replicate the exact application scenario and be operated in a simple manner. This paper introduces a brand new analysis platform named robot navigation analysis platform (RoNAP), which is an open-source platform developed using the Python environment. A user-friendly interface supports its realization for the evaluation of various navigation algorithms. A variety of existing algorithms were able to achieve desired test results on this platform, indicating its feasibility and efficiency for navigation algorithm analysis.
