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

Mandarin fruit detection provides crucial technical support for yield prediction and the precise identification and harvesting of mandarin fruits. However, challenges such as occlusion from leaves or branches, the presence of small or partially visible fruits, and limitations in model efficiency pose significant obstacles in a complex orchard environment. To tackle these issues, we propose ELD-YOLO, a lightweight detection framework designed to enhance edge detail preservation and improve the detection of small and occluded fruits. Our method incorporates edge-aware processing to strengthen feature representation, introduces a streamlined detection head that balances accuracy with computational cost, and employs an adaptive upsampling strategy to minimize information loss during feature scaling. Experiments on a mandarin fruit dataset show that ELD-YOLO achieves a precision of 89.7%, a recall of 83.7%, an mAP@50 of 92.1%, and an mAP@50:95 of 68.6% while reducing the parameter count by 15.4% compared with the baseline. These results demonstrate that ELD-YOLO provides an effective and efficient solution for fruit detection in complex orchard scenarios.
