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 article describes the design and construction journey of a self-developed unmanned surface vehicle (USV). In order to increase the accessibility and lower the barrier of entry we propose a low-cost (under EUR 1000) approach to the vessel construction with great adaptability and customizability. This design prioritizes minimal power consumption as a key objective. It focuses on elucidating the intricacies of both the design and assembly processes involved in creating an economical USV. Utilizing easily accessible components, the boat outlined in this study has been already participated in the 1st Aegean Ro-boat Race 2023 competition and is tailored for entry into similar robotic competitions. Its primary functionalities encompass autonomous sea navigation coupled with sophisticated collision avoidance capabilities. Finally, we studied reinforcement learning strategies for constructing a robust intelligent controller for the task of USV navigation under disturbances and we show some preliminary simulation results we have obtained.
