A foundation model for rock thin-section images analysis.
Article in Communications engineering, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Rock thin-section image analysis is a fundamental task in geological and mineralogical research. Traditional methods rely on visual inspection by experts using optical microscopes, which are inherently subjective, experience-dependent, and time-consuming. Here, we introduce RoImAI, a vision foundation model specifically designed for rock thin-section microscopy images, enabling rapid and precise rock segmentation, identification, and lithology report generation. A large-scale dataset of rock thin-section microscopy images comprising 30,336 images and approximately two million rock particles from 17 different regions was constructed to develop and validate RoImAI. RoImAI leverages Transformer-based deep learning techniques to achieve high-precision segmentation across multi-center datasets from diverse geological regions. RoImAI employs a hierarchical classification strategy to identify rock particles accurately. Furthermore, RoImAI outperforms human experts in efficiency and accuracy when generating structured lithology reports. The intelligent analytical capabilities and high accuracy of RoImAI strongly enable the automated processing of the rapidly expanding volume of rock thin-section images.
