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
GNSS/INS integrated navigation systems play a critical role in marine navigation, providing high-precision position and attitude information for moving platforms. However, in complex marine environments-such as occlusions caused by offshore engineering platforms-GNSS signal attenuation frequently leads to a rapid degradation of positioning accuracy. To address this issue in post-processing applications, this paper proposes an Adaptive Rauch-Tung-Striebel Smoother (ARTSS)-based GNSS/INS integrated navigation method. The proposed method first performs forward filtering using an Error-State Extended Kalman Filter (ESKF). Subsequently, an adaptive equivalent weight is dynamically constructed using the Huber M-estimation cost function based on the forward filtering innovations. This adaptive factor is utilized to dynamically modulate the smoothing gain in the backward pass, thereby effectively suppressing the interference of measurement outliers. To verify the effectiveness of the algorithm, comparative experiments are conducted using real-world land vehicle and shipborne kinematic datasets. Three methods are evaluated: the standard ESKF, the fixed-interval backward smoothing (RTSS), and the proposed ARTSS approach. The loosely coupled solutions from the Inertial Explorer (IE) software serve as the reference truth. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves significant improvements in positioning and attitude accuracy during GNSS signal outages. Specifically, compared with the conventional ESKF and RTSS methods, the 3D position accuracy of the shipborne experiment is improved by 31.07% and 6.97%, respectively, while that of the land vehicle experiment is increased by 48.05% and 8.67%. Therefore, the method presented in this paper effectively mitigates the accumulation of forward filtering errors and significantly enhances the accuracy, stability, and reliability of the integrated navigation system in complex environments.
