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

Automated detection and validation of fine-grained human activities from egocentric vision has gained increased attention in recent years due to the rich information afforded by RGB images. However, it is not easy to discern how much rich information is necessary to detect the activity of interest reliably. Localization of hands and objects in the image has proven helpful to distinguishing between hand-related fine-grained activities. This paper describes the design of a hand-object-based mask obfuscation method (HOBM) and assesses its effect on automated recognition of fine-grained human activities. HOBM masks all pixels other than the hand and object in-hand, improving the protection of personal user information (PUI). We test a deep learning model trained with and without obfuscation using a public egocentric activity dataset with 86 class labels and achieve almost similar classification accuracies (2% decrease with obfuscation). Our findings show that it is possible to protect PUI at smaller image utility costs (loss of accuracy).
