Path following of under-actuated ships based on backstepping and predictive control method.
Article in Science progress. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
To deal with the sideslip angle caused by the current disturbances or transverse motion for path following of under-actuated ships, a nonlinear observer established by an exponential function is introduced in the backstepping approach which converts the path following into heading control. Then, the model predictive control (MPC) method is used as a heading controller, addressing the rudder optimization. A linear extended state observer technology was exploited to estimate yaw rate, external disturbances, and internal uncertainties, which could avoid measuring the high-order state used in the MPC controller and promote the accuracy of the MPC internal model. Moreover, an inverse tangent function is applied to develop a new method for switching the reference heading angle to reduce rudder amplitude when the ship is choosing the next waypoint. Finally, the validity and reliability of the design method were verified through comparative computer simulation experiments.
