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.

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
To address the difficulty of accurately localizing automotive chassis bolts during the assembly process-caused by non-uniform illumination, limited camera installation space, and occlusions from the vehicle body structure-a fiducial-marker-based localization method is proposed. In this method, a concentric ring-shaped fiducial marker is affixed to the bottom of the assembly wrench, and its region of interest (ROI) is extracted using an HSV color space segmentation algorithm. To overcome interference from uneven lighting and insufficient brightness in industrial environments, an improved Retinex-based image enhancement algorithm is introduced, which significantly improves the robustness and accuracy of ROI extraction. The extracted ROI image is subjected to ellipse fitting, and the fitting process is optimized by incorporating the Leitz criterion. Experimental results show that the optimized ellipse fitting algorithm achieves higher accuracy and significantly enhances the reliability of fitting. Since perspective projection of spatial circles leads to displacement of the circle center, the actual projected center of the fiducial marker in the image is calculated by estimating the normal vector of the circular plane using vanishing lines and the ellipse parameter matrix. This enables spatial localization of the bolt end. The proposed method is validated by comparing the localization results with the theoretical coordinates of the bolt holes. Experimental results demonstrate that the method offers high localization accuracy and strong robustness, meeting the practical precision requirements for automatic bolt assembly in industrial applications.
