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

One of the main methods of the path localization of moving objects is positioning using Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) in cooperation with Inertial Navigation Systems (INSs). Its basic task is to provide high availability, in particular in areas with limited access to satellite signals such as forests, tunnels or urban areas. The aim of the article is to carry out the testing and analysis of selected navigation parameters (3D position coordinates (Northing, Easting, and height) and Euler angles (pitch and roll)) of the GNSS/INS system for Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) path localization during inland hydrographic surveys. The research used the Ellipse-D GNSS/INS system working in the Real Time Kinematic (RTK) mode in order to determine the position of the "HydroDron" Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV). Measurements were conducted on four representative routes with a parallel and spiral arrangement of sounding profiles on Lake Kłodno (Poland). Based on the obtained research results, position accuracy measures of the "HydroDron" USV were determined using the Ellipse-D GNSS/INS system. Additionally, it was determined whether USV path localization using a GNSS/INS system working in the RTK mode meets the positioning requirements for inland hydrographic surveys. Research has shown that the Ellipse-D system operating in the RTK mode can be successfully used to position vessels when carrying out inland hydrographic surveys in all International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) Orders (Exclusive, Special, 1a/1b and 2) even when it does not work 100% correctly, e.g., loss of RTK corrections for an extended period of time. In an area with limited coverage of the mobile network operator (30-40% of the time the receiver operated in the differential mode), the positioning accuracy of the "HydroDron" USV using the Ellipse-D GNSS/INS system working in the RTK mode was from 0.877 m to 0.941 m for the R95(2D) measure, depending on the route travelled. Moreover, research has shown that if the Ellipse-D system performed GNSS/INS measurements using the RTK method, the pitch and roll error values amounted to approx. 0.06°, which is almost identical to that recommended by the device manufacturer. However, when working in the differential mode, the pitch and roll error values increased from 0.06° to just over 0.2°.
