Exposing image splicing traces in scientific publications via uncertainty-guided refinement.
Article in Patterns (New York, N.Y.), 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
Recently, a surge in image manipulations in scientific publications has led to numerous retractions, highlighting the importance of image integrity. Although forensic detectors for image duplication and synthesis have been researched, the detection of image splicing in scientific publications remains largely unexplored. Splicing detection is more challenging than duplication detection due to the lack of reference images and more difficult than synthesis detection because of the presence of smaller tampered-with areas. Moreover, disruptive factors in scientific images, such as artifacts, abnormal patterns, and noise, present misleading features like splicing traces, rendering this task difficult. In addition, the scarcity of high-quality datasets of spliced scientific images has limited advancements. Therefore, we propose the uncertainty-guided refinement network (URN) to mitigate these disruptive factors. We also construct a dataset for image splicing detection (SciSp) with 1,290 spliced images by collecting and manually splicing. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate the URN's superior splicing detection performance.
