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

This paper presents an automated procedure for optimizing datasets used in land/water segmentation tasks with deep learning models. The proposed method employs the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) with a variable threshold to automatically assess the quality of annotations associated with multispectral satellite images. By systematically identifying and excluding low-quality samples, the method enhances dataset quality and improves model performance. Experimental results on two different publicly available datasets-the SWED and SNOWED-demonstrate that deep learning models trained on optimized datasets outperform those trained on baseline datasets, achieving significant improvements in segmentation accuracy, with up to a 10% increase in mean intersection over union, despite a reduced dataset size. Therefore, the presented methodology is a promising scalable solution for improving the quality of datasets for environmental monitoring and other remote sensing applications.
