An improved grey wolf algorithm and its localization research in complex indoor environments.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
In complex indoor environments, traditional localization methods often suffer from non-line-of-sight (NLOS) and multipath problems, which lead to unsolvable or incorrectly solved mathematical localization models, thereby limiting localization accuracy. A localization method based on swarm intelligence optimization has been proposed to address this issue. The swarm intelligence optimization algorithm does not require solving matrix inversions and transforms the localization problem into a function optimization problem, which can obtain approximate optimal solutions. Nevertheless, optimization algorithms are beset with issues like sluggish convergence speed and proneness to getting trapped in local optima, thereby failing to satisfy the current practical requirements for localization. This paper proposes a new method that applies the grey wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm to ultra-wideband (UWB) indoor localization to enhance localization accuracy. It improves the GWO algorithm with four strategies. Firstly, a small-area optimization strategy near the target point is proposed. The Chan algorithm is adopted for initial tag localization, and the initial localization result is taken as a constraint to construct the search area of the GWO algorithm, thereby reducing the large space region to a small space region and enhancing optimization efficiency. Secondly, an improved Tent mapping, a nonlinear convergence factor, a fitness-weighted location update strategy, and an out-of-bounds reflection mechanism are designed to improve the GWO algorithm, referred to as the TIGWO algorithm. Finally, apply the TIGWO algorithm to determine the optimal location of the tag. The experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm significantly enhances indoor localization accuracy. Compared to the Chan, Chan-Taylor, PSO, WOA, and GWO algorithms, the average localization accuracy has been enhanced by 59.65%, 63.41%, 40.97%, 45.97%, and 35.44%, respectively. In an equipment warehouse scenario, the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis localization errors are 0.129 m, 0.101 m, and 0.154 m, respectively.
