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

Sorting seedlings is laborious and requires attention to identify damage. Separating healthy seedlings from damaged or defective seedlings is a critical task in indoor farming systems. However, sorting seedlings manually can be challenging and time-consuming, particularly under complex lighting conditions. Different indoor lighting conditions can affect the visual appearance of the seedlings, making it difficult for human operators to accurately identify and sort the seedlings consistently. Therefore, the objective of this study was to develop a defective-lettuce-seedling-detection system under different indoor cultivation lighting systems using deep learning algorithms to automate the seedling sorting process. The seedling images were captured under different indoor lighting conditions, including white, blue, and red. The detection approach utilized and compared several deep learning algorithms, specifically CenterNet, YOLOv5, YOLOv7, and faster R-CNN to detect defective seedlings in indoor farming environments. The results demonstrated that the mean average precision (mAP) of YOLOv7 (97.2%) was the highest and could accurately detect defective lettuce seedlings compared to CenterNet (82.8%), YOLOv5 (96.5%), and faster R-CNN (88.6%). In terms of detection under different light variables, YOLOv7 also showed the highest detection rate under white and red/blue/white lighting. Overall, the detection of defective lettuce seedlings by YOLOv7 shows great potential for introducing automated seedling-sorting systems and classification under actual indoor farming conditions. Defective-seedling-detection can improve the efficiency of seedling-management operations in indoor farming.
