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 lack of high-resolution thermal images is a limiting factor in the fusion with other sensors with a higher resolution. Different families of algorithms have been designed in the field of remote sensors to fuse panchromatic images with multispectral images from satellite platforms, in a process known as pansharpening. Attempts have been made to transfer these pansharpening algorithms to thermal images in the case of satellite sensors. Our work analyses the potential of these algorithms when applied to thermal images from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). We present a comparison, by means of a quantitative procedure, of these pansharpening methods in satellite images when they are applied to fuse high-resolution images with thermal images obtained from UAVs, in order to be able to choose the method that offers the best quantitative results. This analysis, which allows the objective selection of which method to use with this type of images, has not been done until now. This algorithm selection is used here to fuse images from thermal sensors on UAVs with other images from different sensors for the documentation of heritage, but it has applications in many other fields.
