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 number of leaves at a given time is important to characterize plant growth and development. In this work, we developed a high-throughput method to count the number of leaves by detecting leaf tips in RGB images. The digital plant phenotyping platform was used to simulate a large and diverse dataset of RGB images and corresponding leaf tip labels of wheat plants at seedling stages (150,000 images with over 2 million labels). The realism of the images was then improved using domain adaptation methods before training deep learning models. The results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method evaluated on a diverse test dataset, collecting measurements from 5 countries obtained under different environments, growth stages, and lighting conditions with different cameras (450 images with over 2,162 labels). Among the 6 combinations of deep learning models and domain adaptation techniques, the Faster-RCNN model with cycle-consistent generative adversarial network adaptation technique provided the best performance (
