An improved grey wolf optimization algorithm for 3-D UWB indoor positioning.
Article in PloS one, 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
Traditional Ultra-wideband (UWB) positioning algorithms cannot achieve ideal positioning results when facing multipath effects and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) factors. In order to improve the accuracy of UWB indoor positioning, this paper proposes an improved grey wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm for 3-D UWB indoor positioning in the NLOS environment. First, the Chan algorithm is used for initial tag positioning. Then, the search area of the GWO algorithm is constructed with the initial positioning result as the center. Next, the GWO algorithm's optimization accuracy and convergence speed are improved through the improvement of Tent chaotic mapping, nonlinear convergence factor based on cosine function, and dynamic inertia weight factor. Finally, the optimized position of the tag is determined using the improved GWO algorithm. Experimental results show that this algorithm can converge to the global optimal solution faster and achieve higher positioning accuracy in complex experimental environments. Compared with the Chan, ChanTaylor, particle swarm optimization (PSO), GWO, and enhanced grey wolf optimization (AGWO) algorithms, the average positioning accuracy of the proposed algorithm is improved by 62.92%, 66.43%, 45.71%, 40.91%, and 37.76% respectively, demonstrating its high practical value.
