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

Action unit detection in infants relative to adults presents unique challenges. Jaw contour is less distinct, facial texture is reduced, and rapid and unusual facial movements are common. To detect facial action units in spontaneous behavior of infants, we propose a multi-label Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Eighty-six infants were recorded during tasks intended to elicit enjoyment and frustration. Using an extension of FACS for infants (Baby FACS), over 230,000 frames were manually coded for ground truth. To control for chance agreement, inter-observer agreement between Baby-FACS coders was quantified using free-margin kappa. Kappa coefficients ranged from 0.79 to 0.93, which represents high agreement. The multi-label CNN achieved comparable agreement with manual coding. Kappa ranged from 0.69 to 0.93. Importantly, the CNN-based AU detection revealed the same change in findings with respect to infant expressiveness between tasks. While further research is needed, these findings suggest that automatic AU detection in infants is a viable alternative to manual coding of infant facial expression.
