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

A single sensor is prone to decline recognition accuracy in the face of a complex environment, while the existing multi-sensor evidence theory fusion methods do not comprehensively consider the impact of evidence conflict and fuzziness. In this paper, a new evidence weight combination and probability allocation method is proposed, which calculated the degree of evidence fuzziness through the maximum entropy principle, and also considered the impact of evidence conflict on fusing results. The two impact factors were combined to calculate the trusted discount and reallocate the probability function. Finally, Dempster's combination rule was used to fuse every piece of evidence. On this basis, experiments were first conducted to prove that the existing weight combination methods produce results contrary to common sense when handling high-conflicting and high-clarity evidence, and then comparative experiments were conducted to prove the effectiveness of the proposed evidence weight combination and probability allocation method. Moreover, it was verified, on the PAMAP2 data set, that the proposed method can obtain higher fusing accuracy and more reliable fusing results in all kinds of behavior recognition. Compared with the traditional methods and the existing improved methods, the weight allocation method proposed in this paper dynamically adjusts the weight of fuzziness and conflict in the fusing process and improves the fusing accuracy by about 3.3% and 1.7% respectively which solved the limitations of the existing weight combination methods.
