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

Long-term and high-precision positioning is the key to the pedestrian indoor positioning method. The estimation methods relying only on the inertial measurement unit (IMU) itself lack external observations that can provide absolute information, and the cumulative error easily leads to the distortion of the calculated trajectory. In this paper, based on the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) algorithm, the environmental magnetic field information is taken as the external observation quantity, and a positioning method combining inertial navigation and the magnetic field is proposed. The cumulative error is suppressed from both the yaw angle and pedestrian pose, and the overall navigation and positioning accuracy is improved. The experimental results show that the proposed fusion method greatly improves the suppression of yaw angle and displacement errors. In a total distance of 297.08 m, the yaw angle error is reduced from 11.043° to 4.778°, and the position error is reduced from 8.999 m to 0.364 m. The relative average error decreases from 3.02% to 0.12%.
