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 existing algorithms for identifying and tracking pigs in barns generally have a large number of parameters, relatively complex networks and a high demand for computational resources, which are not suitable for deployment in embedded-edge nodes on farms. A lightweight multi-objective identification and tracking algorithm based on improved YOLOv5s and DeepSort was developed for group-housed pigs in this study. The identification algorithm was optimized by: (i) using a dilated convolution in the YOLOv5s backbone network to reduce the number of model parameters and computational power requirements; (ii) adding a coordinate attention mechanism to improve the model precision; and (iii) pruning the BN layers to reduce the computational requirements. The optimized identification model was combined with DeepSort to form the final Tracking by Detecting algorithm and ported to a Jetson AGX Xavier edge computing node. The algorithm reduced the model size by 65.3% compared to the original YOLOv5s. The algorithm achieved a recognition precision of 96.6%; a tracking time of 46 ms; and a tracking frame rate of 21.7 FPS, and the precision of the tracking statistics was greater than 90%. The model size and performance met the requirements for stable real-time operation in embedded-edge computing nodes for monitoring group-housed pigs.
