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

Multi-sensor fusion systems involving Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), cameras, and inertial measurement units (IMUs) have been widely adopted in fields such as autonomous driving and robotics due to their complementary perception capabilities. This widespread application has led to a growing demand for accurate sensor calibration. Although numerous calibration methods have been proposed in recent years for various sensor combinations, such as camera-IMU, LiDAR-IMU, camera-LiDAR, and camera-LiDAR-IMU, there remains a lack of systematic reviews and comparative analyses of these approaches. This paper focuses on extrinsic calibration techniques for LiDAR, cameras, and IMU, providing a comprehensive review of the latest developments across the four types of sensor combinations. We further analyze the strengths and limitations of existing methods, summarize the evaluation criteria for calibration, and outline potential future research directions for the benefit of the academic community.
