A Hybrid Indoor Positioning System Based on Visible Light Communication and Bluetooth RSS Trilateration.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Indoor positioning has become an attractive research topic because of the drawbacks of the global navigation satellite system (GNSS), which cannot detect accurate locations within indoor areas. Radio-based positioning technologies are one major category of indoor positioning systems. Another major category consists of visible light communication-based solutions, as they have become a revolutionary technology for indoor positioning in recent years. The proposed study intends to make use of both technologies by creating a hybrid indoor positioning system that uses VLC and Bluetooth together. The system first collects the initial location information based on VLC proximity, then collects the strongest Bluetooth signals to determine the receiver's location using Bluetooth RSS (received signal strength) trilateration. This has been inspired by the fact that there have not been any studies that make use of both technologies with the same positioning algorithm, which can lead to pretty high accuracy of up to 0.03 m.
