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

Accurate pupil localization is crucial for the eye-tracking technology used in monitoring driver fatigue. However, factors such as poor road conditions may result in blurred eye images being captured by eye-tracking devices, affecting the accuracy of pupil localization. To address the above problems, we propose a real-time pupil localization algorithm for blurred images based on double constraints. The algorithm is divided into three stages: extracting the rough pupil area based on grayscale constraints, refining the pupil region based on geometric constraints, and determining the pupil center according to geometric moments. First, the rough pupil area is adaptively extracted from the input image based on grayscale constraints. Then, the designed pupil shape index is used to refine the pupil area based on geometric constraints. Finally, the geometric moments are calculated to quickly locate the pupil center. The experimental results demonstrate that the algorithm exhibits superior localization performance in both blurred and clear images, with a localization error within 6 pixels, an accuracy exceeding 97%, and real-time performance of up to 85 fps. The proposed algorithm provides an efficient and precise solution for pupil localization, demonstrating practical applicability in the monitoring of real-world driver fatigue.
