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

Controlling crop diseases and pests is essential for intelligent agriculture (IA) due to the significant reduction in crop yield and quality caused by these problems. In recent years, the remote sensing (RS) areas has been prevailed over by unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based applications. Herein, by using methods such as keyword co-contribution analysis and author co-occurrence analysis in bibliometrics, we found out the hot-spots of this field. UAV platforms equipped with various types of cameras and other advanced sensors, combined with artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, especially for deep learning (DL) were reviewed. Acknowledging the critical role of comprehending crop diseases and pests, along with their defining traits, we provided a concise overview as indispensable foundational knowledge. Additionally, some widely used traditional machine learning (ML) algorithms were presented and the performance results were tabulated to form a comparison. Furthermore, we summarized crop diseases and pests monitoring techniques using DL and introduced the application for prediction and classification. Take it a step further, the newest and the most concerned applications of large language model (LLM) and large vision model (LVM) in agriculture were also mentioned herein. At the end of this review, we comprehensively discussed some deficiencies in the existing research and some challenges to be solved, as well as some practical solutions and suggestions in the near future.
