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

Monitoring sorghum during the flowering stage is essential for effective fertilization management and improving yield quality, with spike identification serving as the core component of this process. Factors such as varying heights and weather conditions significantly influence the accuracy of sorghum spike detection models, and few comparative studies exist on model performance under different conditions. YOLO (You Only Look Once) is a deep learning object detection algorithm. In this research, images of sorghum during the flowering stage were captured at two heights (15 m and 30 m) in 2023 via a UAV and utilized to train and evaluate variants of YOLOv5, YOLOv8, YOLOv9, and YOLOv10. This investigation aimed to assess the impact of dataset size on model accuracy and predict sorghum flowering stages. The results indicated that YOLOv5, YOLOv8, YOLOv9, and YOLOv10 achieved mAP@50 values of 0.971, 0.968, 0.967, and 0.965, respectively, with dataset sizes ranging from 200 to 350. YOLOv8m performed best on 15
