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

Neural networks are reported to be vulnerable under minor and imperceptible attacks. The underlying mechanism and quantitative measure of the vulnerability still remains to be revealed. In this study, we explore the intrinsic trade-off between accuracy and robustness in neural networks, framed through the lens of the "uncertainty principle". By examining the fundamental limitations imposed by this principle, we reveal how neural networks inherently balance precision in feature extraction with susceptibility to adversarial perturbations. Our analysis highlights that as neural networks achieve higher accuracy, their vulnerability to adversarial attacks increases, a phenomenon rooted in the uncertainty relation. By using the mathematics from quantum mechanics, we offer a theoretical foundation and analytical method for understanding the vulnerabilities of deep learning models.
