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

Maize is a globally important cereal crop, however, maize leaf disease is one of the most common and devastating diseases that afflict it. Artificial intelligence methods face challenges in identifying and classifying maize leaf diseases due to variations in image quality, similarity among diseases, disease severity, limited dataset availability, and limited interpretability. To address these challenges, we propose a residual-based multi-scale network (MResNet) for classifying multi-type maize leaf diseases from maize images. MResNet consists of two residual subnets with different scales, enabling the model to detect diseases in maize leaf images at different scales. We further utilize a hybrid feature weight optimization method to optimize and fuse the feature mapping weights of two subnets. We validate MResNet on a maize leaf diseases dataset. MResNet achieves 97.45% accuracy. The performance of MResNet surpasses other state-of-the-art methods. Various experiments and two additional datasets confirm the generalization performance of our model. Furthermore, thermodynamic diagram analysis increases the interpretability of the model. This study provides technical support for the disease classification of agricultural plants.
