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

In ubiquitous Wi-Fi sensing, human motion interval segmentation is crucial for applications ranging from basic intrusion detection to advanced activity understanding. Existing methods often treat the Channel State Information (CSI) primarily as time series, overlooking its rich information in the spatial and frequency domains. To address this, we propose a training-free motion segmentation method that exploits the spatiotemporal features of CSI. We first analyze the discriminative spatial distributions of the CSI Ratio on the complex plane and construct a spatiotemporally dual-constrained local density estimator to characterize motion-induced perturbations. To overcome subcarrier selection challenges, we introduce a packet-level asymmetric truncation-based fusion algorithm, which yields a feature representation with a pronounced bimodal histogram. This enables the automatic determination of the optimal segmentation threshold based on the distribution characteristics of the truncated density image. Experiments in typical indoor environments demonstrate that the proposed method achieves high accuracy in both motion event detection and interval localization.
