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

Single-class object detection, which focuses on identifying, counting, and tracking a specific animal species, plays a vital role in optimizing farm operations. However, dense occlusion among individuals in group activity scenarios remains a major challenge. To address this, we propose YOLO-SDD, a dense detection network designed for single-class densely populated scenarios. First, we introduce a Wavelet-Enhanced Convolution (WEConv) to improve feature extraction under dense occlusion. Following this, we propose an occlusion perception attention mechanism (OPAM), which further enhances the model's ability to recognize occluded targets by simultaneously leveraging low-level detailed features and high-level semantic features, helping the model better handle occlusion scenarios. Lastly, a Lightweight Shared Head (LS Head) is incorporated and specifically optimized for single-class dense detection tasks, enhancing efficiency while maintaining high detection accuracy. Experimental results on the ChickenFlow dataset, which we developed specifically for broiler detection, show that the n, s, and m variants of YOLO-SDD achieve AP
