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 monitoring systems have become increasingly important for zoological institutions in the study of their animals' behavior. One crucial processing step for such a system is the re-identification of individuals when using multiple cameras. Deep learning approaches have become the standard methodology for this task. Especially video-based methods promise to achieve a good performance in re-identification, as they can leverage the movement of an animal as an additional feature. This is especially important for applications in zoos, where one has to overcome specific challenges such as changing lighting conditions, occlusions or low image resolutions. However, large amounts of labeled data are needed to train such a deep learning model. We provide an extensively annotated dataset including 13 individual polar bears shown in 1431 sequences, which is an equivalent of 138,363 images.
