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

Sparse arrays are widely employed in array signal processing due to their obvious advantages in array element distribution and uniform degrees of freedom (uDOFs). In this paper, a generalized augmented multi-subarray nested array (GAMSNA-I) and its variant, GAMSNA-II are proposed, with the objective of increasing uDOFs and reducing mutual coupling. Based on two subarrays of the prototype nested array (NA), GAMSNA-I is constructed by reconfiguring the dense uniform linear array (ULA) and forward-shifting the sparse ULA. GAMSNA-II is obtained by sparsifying the dense part of GAMSNA-I, ensuring constant uDOFs while further reducing mutual coupling. Subsequently, the closed-form expression for the uDOFs of GAMSNA-I with an arbitrary number of sensors is derived, and the proof is provided that the uDOFs of GAMSNA-II remain unchanged relative to that of GAMSNA-I. Compared to some existing array configurations, both GAMSNA-I and GAMSNA-II exhibit improved uDOFs, with GAMSNA-II achieving lower mutual coupling. Simulation results show the superior performance of the proposed GAMSNA-I and GAMSNA-II.
