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

The use of conformal arrays offers a significant advancement in Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) radar, enabling the placement of antennas on irregular surfaces. For joint Direction-of-Departure (DOD) and Direction-of-Arrival (DOA) estimation in conformal-array MIMO radar, the current spectrum-searching methods are computationally too expensive, while the existing rotation-invariant method may suffer from phase ambiguity caused by the non-Nyquist spacing of the sensors. In this paper, an improved rotationally invariant technique is proposed. The core function of the proposed algorithm is to estimate the phase differences between the adjacent sensors; then, it eliminates phase ambiguity via the previous estimated standard phase difference. Thereafter, DODs and DOAs are obtained via Least Squares (LS) fitting. The proposed method provides closed-form estimates for joint DOD and DOA estimation, which is much more efficient than the existing spectrum-searching techniques. Numerical simulations show that the proposed algorithm can accurately determine 2D DODs and DOAs of targets, only requiring approximately 1% of the running time required by existing spectrum-searching approaches.
