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

Phenotyping of plant growth improves the understanding of complex genetic traits and eventually expedites the development of modern breeding and intelligent agriculture. In phenotyping, segmentation of 3D point clouds of plant organs such as leaves and stems contributes to automatic growth monitoring and reflects the extent of stress received by the plant. In this work, we first proposed the Voxelized Farthest Point Sampling (VFPS), a novel point cloud downsampling strategy, to prepare our plant dataset for training of deep neural networks. Then, a deep learning network-PSegNet, was specially designed for segmenting point clouds of several species of plants. The effectiveness of PSegNet originates from three new modules including the Double-Neighborhood Feature Extraction Block (DNFEB), the Double-Granularity Feature Fusion Module (DGFFM), and the Attention Module (AM). After training on the plant dataset prepared with VFPS, the network can simultaneously realize the semantic segmentation and the leaf instance segmentation for three plant species. Comparing to several mainstream networks such as PointNet++, ASIS, SGPN, and PlantNet, the PSegNet obtained the best segmentation results quantitatively and qualitatively. In semantic segmentation, PSegNet achieved 95.23%, 93.85%, 94.52%, and 89.90% for the mean Prec, Rec, F1, and IoU, respectively. In instance segmentation, PSegNet achieved 88.13%, 79.28%, 83.35%, and 89.54% for the mPrec, mRec, mCov, and mWCov, respectively.
