Research on improved YOLOv8s model for detecting mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Accurate identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) is a critical step in the diagnosis of tuberculosis. Existing object detection methods struggle with the challenges posed by the varied morphology and size of M. tuberculosis in sputum smear images, which makes precise targeting difficult. To solve these problems, an improved YOLOv8s model is proposed. Specifically, an additional detection head is added to focus on small target information. Second, a multi-scale feature fusion module is introduced to adapt the model to different sizes of M. tuberculosis. In addition, a convolutional layer is added to the Coordinate Attention (CA) module to extract more advanced semantic features. Finally, a self-attention mechanism is added after the CA module to enhance the model's ability to accurately understand and localize the varied morphology of M. tuberculosis. Our model performed well with an average precision of 85.7 % when tested on a publicly available dataset. This clearly demonstrates the effectiveness of our proposed model in M. tuberculosis detection.
