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

Accurately counting chickens in densely packed cages is a major challenge in large-scale poultry farms. Traditional manual counting methods are labor-intensive, costly, and prone to errors due to worker fatigue. Furthermore, current deep learning models often struggle with accuracy in caged environments because they are not well-equipped to handle occlusions. In response, we propose the You Only Look Once-Chicken Counting Algorithm (YOLO-CCA). YOLO-CCA improves the YOLOv8-small model by integrating the CoordAttention mechanism and the Reversible Column Networks backbone. This enhancement improved the YOLOv8-small model's
