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

The increasing demand for automation in livestock farming scenarios highlights the need for effective noncontact measurement methods. The current methods typically require either fixed postures and specific positions of the target animals or high computational demands, making them difficult to implement in practical situations. In this study, a novel dual-network framework is presented that extracts accurate contour information instead of segmented images from unconstrained pigs and then directly employs this information to obtain precise liveweight estimates. The experimental results demonstrate that the developed framework achieves high accuracy, providing liveweight estimates with an R
