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

Weight is an important indicator of the growth and development of dairy cows. The traditional static weighing methods require considerable human and financial resources, and the existing dynamic weighing algorithms do not consider the influence of the cow motion state on the weight curve. In this paper, a dynamic weighing algorithm for cows based on a support vector machine (SVM) and empirical wavelet transform (EWT) is proposed for classification and analysis. First, the dynamic weight curve is obtained by using a weighing device placed along a cow travel corridor. Next, the data are preprocessed through valid signal acquisition, feature extraction, and normalization, and the results are divided into three active degrees during motion for low, medium, and high grade using the SVM algorithm. Finally, a mean filtering algorithm, the EWT algorithm, and a combined periodic continuation-EWT algorithm are used to obtain the dynamic weight values. Weight data were collected for 910 cows, and the experimental results displayed a classification accuracy of 98.6928%. The three algorithms were used to calculate the dynamic weight values for comparison with real values, and the average error rates were 0.1838%, 0.6724%, and 0.9462%. This method can be widely used at farms and expand the current knowledgebase regarding the dynamic weighing of cows.
