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

Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) are vital technologies of our age and serve a plethora of industries that rely on precise positioning for automation, efficiency, and safety. Emerging applications of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in critical applications like security, surveillance, critical logistics and defense demand precise and robust navigation capabilities even in challenging environments with high multipath or (un-)intended interference. The design of robust GNSS receivers for UAV applications, capable of suppressing interfering signals, is challenging due to the need for multi-antenna systems and the stringent requirements on hardware to be lightweight and miniaturized enough to fit onto small mobile platforms. In order to overcome these limitations, the present article details a four-element wideband antenna array, fitting into a 100 mm diameter footprint. The array is capable to operate across all GNSS frequency bands while incorporating, if needed, a multipath mitigation solution. The antenna design relies on a modular concept with 3D printed Dielectric Resonator Antennas (DRAs) and vertical choke rings. The antenna performance is evaluated in terms of its radiation pattern via installed antenna simulations and measurements in an anechoic chamber. The effect of different installation heights on the antenna pattern is studied. Furthermore, GNSS measurements carried out with the array alone and mounted on the UAV are presented.
