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

Systems that operate in dangerous environments are becoming essential in case of emergencies. This survey reviews the latest ground reconnaissance robots using computer vision (CV), machine learning (ML), MCU-based control, LoRa communication, DC motors, and dual-power systems. The analysis includes hardware and algorithms, and their performance in the field and lab. There has been clear progress in navigation, sensor fusion, and situational awareness. The main challenges which remain include the use of energy and standardization of benchmarks. This survey focuses exclusively on Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) for disaster reconnaissance, examining recent advances in hardware, software, and autonomy. The survey highlights the improvements in navigation, sensor fusion, and intelligence, and identifies remaining challenges such as energy limitations, robustness in harsh conditions, and the lack of standardized benchmarks. The analysis synthesizes findings from over 190 recent studies (2020-2025) in ground-based disaster robotics, providing a comprehensive overview of current capabilities and research gaps. It encapsulates all issues with their remedy for future disaster-response systems.
