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 precise identification of postural behavior plays a crucial role in evaluation of animal welfare and captive management. Deep learning technology has been widely used in automatic behavior recognition of wild and domestic fauna species. The Asian slow loris is a group of small, nocturnal primates with a distinctive locomotion mode, and a large number of individuals were confiscated into captive settings due to illegal trade, making the species an ideal as a model for postural behavior monitoring. Captive animals may suffer from being housed in an inappropriate environment and may display abnormal behavior patterns. Traditional data collection methods are time-consuming and laborious, impeding efforts to improve lorises' captive welfare and to develop effective reintroduction strategies. This study established the first human-labeled postural behavior dataset of slow lorises and used deep learning technology to recognize postural behavior based on object detection and semantic segmentation. The precision of the classification based on YOLOv5 reached 95.1%. The Dilated Residual Networks (DRN) feature extraction network showed the best performance in semantic segmentation, and the classification accuracy reached 95.2%. The results imply that computer automatic identification of postural behavior may offer advantages in assessing animal activity and can be applied to other nocturnal taxa.
