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

Recently, studies on driver inattention state recognition as an advanced mobility application technology are being actively conducted to prevent traffic accidents caused by driver drowsiness and distraction. The driver inattention state recognition system is a technology that recognizes drowsiness and distraction by using driver behavior, biosignals, and vehicle data characteristics. Existing driver drowsiness detection systems are wearable accessories that have partial occlusion of facial features and light scattering due to changes in internal and external lighting, which results in momentary image resolution degradation, making it difficult to recognize the driver's condition. In this paper, we propose a transformer based spatial temporal fusion network (STFTransNet) that fuses multi-modality information for improved driver inattention state recognition in images where the driver's face is partially occluded by wearing accessories and the instantaneous resolution is degraded due to light scattering from changes in lighting in a driving environment. The proposed STFTransNet consists of (i) a mediapipe face mesh-based facial landmark extraction process for facial feature extraction, (ii) an RCN-based two-stream cross-attention process for learning spatial features of driver face and body action images, (iii) a TCN-based temporal feature extraction process for learning temporal features of extracted features, and (iv) an ensemble of spatial and temporal features and a classification process to recognize the final driver state. As a result of the experiment, the proposed STFTransNet achieved an accuracy of 4.56% better than the existing VBFLLFA model in the NTHU-DDD public DB, 3.48% better than the existing InceptionV3 + HRNN model in the StateFarm public DB, and 3.78% better than the existing VBFLLFA model in the YawDD public DB. The proposed STFTransNet is designed as a two-stream network that can input the driver's face and action images and solves the degradation in driver inattention state recognition performance due to partial facial feature occlusion and light blur through spatial feature and temporal feature fusion.
