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

Tea flowers play a crucial role in taxonomic research and hybrid breeding of tea plants. As traditional methods of observing tea flower traits are labor-intensive and inaccurate, TflosYOLO and Tea Flowering Stage Classification (TFSC) models were proposed for tea flowering quantification, which enable the estimation of flower count and flowering period. In this study, a highly representative and diverse dataset was constructed by collecting flower images from 29 tea accessions in 2 years. Based on this dataset, the TflosYOLO model was built on the YOLOv5 architecture and enhanced with the Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) network, Adaptive Rectangular Convolution, and Attention Free Transformer, which is the first model to offer a viable solution for detecting and counting tea flowers. The TflosYOLO model achieved a mean Average Precision at 50% IoU (mAP50) of 0.844, outperforming YOLOv5, YOLOv7, and YOLOv8. Furthermore, the TflosYOLO model was tested on 31 datasets encompassing 26 tea accessions and five flowering stages, demonstrating high generalization and robustness. The correlation coefficient (R
