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

Automated fabric defect detection is crucial for improving quality control, reducing manual labor, and optimizing efficiency in the textile industry. Traditional inspection methods rely heavily on human oversight, which makes them prone to subjectivity, inefficiency, and inconsistency in high-speed manufacturing environments. This review systematically examines the evolution of the You Only Look Once (YOLO) object detection framework from YOLO-v1 to YOLO-v11, emphasizing architectural advancements such as attention-based feature refinement and Transformer integration and their impact on fabric defect detection. Unlike prior studies focusing on specific YOLO variants, this work comprehensively compares the entire YOLO family, highlighting key innovations and their practical implications. We also discuss the challenges, including dataset limitations, domain generalization, and computational constraints, proposing future solutions such as synthetic data generation, federated learning, and edge AI deployment. By bridging the gap between academic advancements and industrial applications, this review is a practical guide for selecting and optimizing YOLO models for fabric inspection, paving the way for intelligent quality control systems.
