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

Coaxial rotor helicopters have a wide range of civilian and military applications; however, the collision risk of the upper and lower blades that comes with the coaxial rotor system remains. This paper introduces a blade-tip distance measurement method based on coded ultrasonic ranging to tackle this challenge. Coded ultrasonic ranging with phase modulation was adopted to improve the measurement rate. In this paper, seven-bit M-sequences and Gold codes are chosen with four periods of 200 kHz sine wave carriers as the excitation signals, and the received signals are filtered by a bandpass filter and decoded by a matching filter. The coding performance is evaluated by the distinguishability and energy level of the received signals. The experimental results show that the measurement rate can reach 3060 Hz for a distance of one meter. They also give the potential solution for other high-speed measurement problems.
