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 clarity evaluation function plays a vital role in the autofocus technique. The accuracy and efficiency of the image clarity evaluation function directly affects the accuracy of autofocus and the speed of focusing. However, classical clarity function values are sensitive to changes in background brightness and changes in object contour length. This paper proposes a normalized absolute values adaptive (NAVA) evaluation function of image clarity. It can eliminate the influence of changes in background brightness and the length of the measured object contour on the image clarity function value. To verify the effectiveness of the NAVA function, several experiments were conducted under conditions of virtual master gear images and actual captured images. For actual captured images, the variation of the evaluation results of the NAVA function is far less than the corresponding variation of the classic clarity function. Compared with classical clarity evaluation functions, the NAVA function can provide normalized absolute clarity values. The correlations between the NAVA function results of image clarity and both the contour length and background brightness of the tested object are weak. The use of the NAVA function in automatic and manual focusing systems can further improve focusing efficiency.
