Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Indoor intelligent logistics robots are widely employed in warehousing and sorting operations, where their autonomous obstacle avoidance capabilities play a pivotal role in enhancing both operational efficiency and system safety. To bolster the obstacle avoidance reliability of individual robots and improve the collaborative path planning efficiency within multi-robot systems, comprehensive research is currently being conducted. This research primarily focuses on acquiring environmental information by integrating optical flow and feature extraction techniques. Furthermore, it involves the fusion of multi-sensor data from depth perception cameras and laser radars to enhance the precision of environmental perception. Additionally, the Pelican optimization algorithm has been refined through the incorporation of chaotic mapping and firefly disturbance strategies, with the overarching goal of achieving optimal path planning. The experimental setup includes obstacle avoidance simulation testing on the Ubuntu 20.04 platform, along with on-site testing at an e-commerce sorting center. The experimental results demonstrate that, compared to traditional methods, the improved approach increases the average obstacle avoidance safety distance by over 60% in static environments and enables flexible responses to random obstacles, such as pedestrians, in dynamic settings. The refined Pelican optimization algorithm exhibits superior convergence speed and accuracy in both single-peak and multi-peak test functions. In real-world logistics scenarios, the obstacle avoidance success rate reaches 98.6%, with an average obstacle avoidance time of 1.5 seconds and a total path length of 12.5 meters—all of which outperform traditional methods and existing technologies. The visual obstacle avoidance technology proposed in this study effectively enhances the obstacle avoidance safety of robots and the efficiency of multi-robot collaborative operations, offering a reliable solution for indoor logistics robots to autonomously navigate and avoid obstacles.
