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 paper investigates the enhancement of positioning accuracy in indoor non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environments using ultra-wideband (UWB) and angle of arrival (AoA) technologies. It examines the application of moving average filters and the adaptive offset cancellation (AOC) method in known target's location area scenario. Furthermore, this study evaluates the performance of positioning accuracy using various input membership functions in fuzzy inference systems for aera recognition in unknown target's location area situation, in conjunction with the AOC method. Experimental results show that the AOC method effectively reduces positioning errors by an average of 29.38 cm across twelve test points when the area where the target is located are known, achieving an error reduction to within 20 cm. In cases where target's location area is unknown, the fuzzy inference system using fuzzy triple std as input membership function achieves an average regional recognition accuracy of 95.68%, outperforming other methods. The proposed fuzzy inference combined with AOC (FAOC) method improves the average positioning error by 40.9% compared to the original positioning method, reducing from 69.03 cm to 44.48 cm.
