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

Common bean production in Tanzania is threatened by diseases such as bean rust and bean anthracnose, with early detection critical for effective management. This study presents a Vision Transformer (ViT)-based deep learning model enhanced with adversarial training to improve disease detection robustness under real-world farm conditions. A dataset of 100,000 annotated images augmented with geometric, color, and FGSM-based perturbations, simulating field variability. FGSM was selected for its computational efficiency in low-resource settings. The model, fine-tuned using transfer learning and validated through cross-validation, achieved an accuracy of 99.4%. Results highlight the effectiveness of integrating adversarial robustness to enhance model reliability for mobile-based plant disease detection in resource-constrained environments.
