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

Recent advancements in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) have enabled the study of atomic structures of materials at unprecedented scales as small as tens of picometers (pm). However, accurately detecting atomic positions from TEM images remains a challenging task. Traditional Gaussian fitting and peak-finding algorithms are effective under ideal conditions but perform poorly on images with strong background noise or contamination areas (shown as ultrabright or ultradark contrasts). Moreover, these traditional algorithms require parameter tuning for different magnifications. To overcome these challenges, AtomID-Net is presented, a deep neural network model for atomic detection from multiscale low-SNR experimental images of scanning TEM (scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM)). The model is trained on real images, which allows the robust and efficient detection of atomic positions, even in the presence of background noise and contamination. The evaluation on a test set of 50 images with a resolution of 800 × 800 yields an average F1-Score of 0.964, which demonstrates significant improvements over existing peak-finding algorithms.
