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 integration of autonomous vehicles (AVs) into road transport requires robust experimental tools to analyze the human-machine interaction, particularly under conditions of system disengagement. This study presents the primary controls calibration and virtual scenario validation of the EVACH autonomous driving simulator, designed to reproduce the SAE Level 2 and Level 3 driving modes in rural road scenarios. The simulator was customized through hardware and software developments including a dedicated data acquisition system to ensure the accurate detection of braking, steering, and other critical control inputs. Calibration tests demonstrated high fidelity, with minor errors in brake and steering control measurements, consistent with values observed in production vehicles. To validate the virtual driving rural environment, comparative experiments were conducted between naturalistic road tests and simulator-based autonomous driving, where five volunteers participated in the preliminary pilot test. Results showed that average speeds in the simulation closely matched those recorded on real roads, with differences of less than 1 km/h with minimum standard deviation and confidence values. These findings confirm that the EVACH simulator provides a stable and faithful reproduction of autonomous driving conditions. The experimental platform offers valuable support for current and future research on the safe deployment of automated vehicles.
