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

Despite of significant achievements made in the detection of target fruits, small fruit detection remains a great challenge, especially for immature small green fruits with a few pixels. The closeness of color between the fruit skin and the background greatly increases the difficulty of locating small target fruits in the natural orchard environment. In this paper, we propose a balanced feature pyramid network (BFP Net) for small apple detection. This network can balance information mapped to small apples from two perspectives: multiple-scale fruits on the different layers of FPN and a characteristic of a new extended feature from the output of ResNet50 conv1. Specifically, we design a weight-like feature fusion architecture on the lateral connection and top-down structure to alleviate the small-scale information imbalance on the different layers of FPN. Moreover, a new extended layer from ResNet50 conv1 is embedded into the lowest layer of standard FPN, and a decoupled-aggregated module is devised on this new extended layer of FPN to complement spatial location information and relieve the problem of locating small apple. In addition, a feature Kullback-Leibler distillation loss is introduced to transfer favorable knowledge from the teacher model to the student model. Experimental results show that AP
