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

Considering the substantial inaccuracies inherent in the traditional manual identification of ceramic categories and the issues associated with analyzing ceramics based on chemical or spectral features, which may lead to the destruction of ceramics, this paper introduces a novel provenance classification of archaeological ceramics which relies on microscopic features and an ensemble deep learning model, overcoming the time consuming and require costly equipment limitations of current standard methods, and without compromising the structural integrity and artistic value of ceramics. The proposed model includes the following: the construction of a dataset for ancient ceramic microscopic images, image preprocessing methods based on Gamma correction and CLAHE equalization algorithms, extraction of image features based on three deep learning architectures-VGG-16, Inception-v3 and GoogLeNet, and optimal fusion. This latter is based on stochastic gradient descent (SGD) algorithm, which allows optimal fitting of the fusion model parameters by freezing and unfreezing model layers. The experiments employ accuracy, precision, recall and F1 score criteria to offer a comprehensive of the classification outcomes. Under 5-fold cross-validation and independent testing, the proposed fusion-based model performed excellently after comparing above three typical deep learning model. The predictive results of the ensemble deep learning are very stable at about 0.9601, 0.9615, 0.9607 and 0.9583 in precision, recall, F1-score, and accuracy on the independent testing dataset, respectively. This indicates that our model is robust and reliable. Furthermore, we use correspondence analysis to explore the distribution of the ceramic microscopic images from different kilns. This method can be applied in the field of ceramic cultural relic identification, contributing to improved diagnostic accuracy and efficiency, and providing new ideas and methods for related research areas.
