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

This work presents a binary correlation-based ultrasonic ranging system that supports versatile signal modulation schemes. It transmits ultrasonic waves with distinct characteristics in consecutive measurement operations and employs a set of signal detectors to identify the originating excitation of the received echo signals, thereby effectively mitigating cross-measurement interference. Design equations supporting diverse modulation schemes are presented, and the factors affecting system performance are discussed. Experimental results obtained with the developed hardware system demonstrate its ability to perform accurate measurements over extended distances and under low signal-to-noise ratio conditions. Furthermore, the system effectively distinguishes echo signals generated by different excitation waves.
