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

Dempster-Shafer evidence theory is an effective way to solve multi-sensor data fusion problems. After developing many improved combination rules, Dempster-Shafer evidence theory can also yield excellent results when fusing highly conflicting evidence. However, these approaches still have deficiencies if the conflicting evidence is due to sensor malfunction. This work presents a combination method by integrating information interaction graph and Dempster-Shafer evidence theory; thus, the multiple evidence fusion process is expressed as a network. In particular, the credibility of each piece of evidence is obtained by measuring the distance between the evidence first. After that, the credibility of the evidence is evaluated, keeping the unreliable evidence out of the information interaction network. With the fusion of connected evidence, the accuracy of the fusion result is improved. Finally, application results show that the presented method is effective.
