Detection of Remaining Feed in the Feed Troughs of Flat-Fed Meat Ducks Based on the RGB-D Sensor and YOLO V8.
Article in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 remaining feed in the feed troughs affects the feeding management of flat-raised meat ducks. Ground-contact detection methods all involve modifications to the feeding troughs, but the breeding setting of flat-raised meat ducks does not allow for on-site electrical wiring installation. Additionally, the existing non-contact methods do not directly detect the remaining feed quantity in the feeding troughs. To tackle this problem, this study employs a novel approach by first capturing images of the feed troughs using an RGB-D sensor. Subsequently, YOLOv8 is utilized to identify the positions of the feed troughs, and the volume of the remaining feed is determined through point cloud processing. The accuracy of this detection method was evaluated using various types of feed troughs and feed particle sizes. The experimental results reveal both a strong correlation between the calculated and actual feed volumes (with R
