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

This paper introduces a fuzzy logic-based autonomous ship deck landing system for fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The ship is assumed to maintain a constant course and speed. The aim of this fuzzy logic landing model is to simplify the task of landing UAVs on moving ships in challenging maritime conditions, relieving operators from this demanding task. The designed UAV ship deck landing model is based on a fuzzy logic system (FLS), which comprises three interconnected subsystems (speed, lateral motion, and altitude components). Each subsystem consists of three inputs and one output incorporating various fuzzy rules to account for external factors during ship deck landings. Specifically, the FLS receives five inputs: the range from the deck, the relative wind direction and speed, the airspeed, and the UAV's flight altitude. The FLS outputs provide data on the speed of the UAV relative to the ship's velocity, the bank angle (BA), and the angle of descent (AOD) of the UAV. The performance of the designed intelligent ship deck landing system was evaluated using the standard configuration of MATLAB Fuzzy Toolbox.
