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

Due to the complex environment of caged chicken coops, uneven illumination and severe occlusion in the coops lead to unsatisfactory accuracy of chicken detection. In this study, we construct an image dataset in the production environment of caged chickens using a head and neck co-annotation method and a multi-stage co-enhancement strategy, and we propose Chicken-YOLO, an occlusion-aware caged chicken detection model based on multi-scale edge information extractor and context fusion for the severe occlusion and poor illumination situations. The model enhances chicken feather texture and crown contour features via the multi-scale edge information extractor (MSEIExtractor), optimizes downsampling information retention through integrated context-guided downsampling (CGDown), and improves occlusion perception using the detection head with the multi-scale separation and enhancement attention module (DHMSEAM). Experiments demonstrate that Chicken-YOLO achieves the best detection performance among mainstream models, exhibiting 1.7% and 1.6% improvements in
