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 study presents StarEye, a lightweight deep learning model designed for underwater human body detection (UHBD) that addresses the challenges of complex underwater environments. The proposed model incorporates several innovative components: a comprehensive underwater dataset construction methodology, a StarBlock-based backbone structure for efficient feature extraction, a Context Anchor Attention (CAA) mechanism integrated into both backbone and neck components, and a Shared Convolution Batch Normalization (SCBN) detection head. Extensive experiments demonstrate that StarEye achieves 91.1% precision, 88.6% recall, and 95.1% mAP50 while reducing the model size to 3.8MB (16.9% of the original size). The model maintains robust performance across various underwater conditions, including poor visibility, varying illumination, and biological interference. The results indicate that StarEye effectively balances model efficiency and detection accuracy, making it particularly suitable for mobile device deployment in underwater scenarios.
