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

Road extraction from satellite imagery plays a vital role in infrastructure monitoring applications such as transportation planning, autonomous navigation and disaster response. Unlike very high-resolution (VHR) imagery, Sentinel-2 data is publicly available, thereby being a strong contender for remote sensing problems such as road extraction. We present the Sentinel-2 Roads Dataset, a publicly available, open-access dataset designed for road segmentation tasks using Sentinel-2 satellite imagery. The dataset consists of Sentinel-2 images at 10 m spatial resolution acquired from seven diverse regions across India, covering urban, rural, and mountainous terrains. The corresponding binary road masks were generated using OpenStreetMap (OSM) data and were rasterized using QGIS software and Rasterio library. The dataset also offer a set of enhanced version of the Sentinel-2 images, which incorporates techniques such as gamma correction and CLAHE, for improved road visibility. For ease of reuse in different deep learning frameworks, the dataset is made available in TIF as well as PNG format. The dataset contains a total of 5634 high-quality samples, each of 256 × 256 pixels, obtained after manual refinement. As a baseline, several deep learning segmentation models were trained on both raw and enhanced images, which demonstrated that preprocessing techniques significantly improved segmentation performance . The proposed dataset serves as a valuable resource for computer vision and remote sensing researchers, offering a benchmark for road extraction tasks. It is publicly available for further research and development in road segmentation models using satellite imagery.
