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

The underwater imaging could be severely degraded by the scattering media because of the backscattered light and signal attenuation, especially in the case of strong scattering for dense turbid medium. In this paper, we propose an improved method for recovering the underwater image combining the histogram stretching and polarimetric recovery in a proper way. In this method, we stretch the histograms of the orthogonal polarization images while maintaining the polarization relation between them, and then, based on the processed orthogonal polarization images, the recovered image with higher quality can be obtained by the traditional polarimetric recovery method. Several groups of experimental results demonstrate that the quality of underwater images can be effectively enhanced by our method, and its performance is better than that of the traditional polarimetric recovery method. In particular, the proposed method is also quite effective in the condition of dense turbid medium.
