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

Pigs' facial regions encode a wealth of biological trait information; detecting their facial poses can provide robust support for individual identification and behavioral analysis. However, in large-scale swine-herd settings, variable lighting within pigsties and the close proximity of animals impose significant challenges on facial-pose detection. This study adopts an aerial-inspection approach-distinct from conventional ground or hoist inspections-leveraging the high-efficiency, panoramic coverage of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). UAV-captured video frames from real herding environments, involving a total of 600 pigs across 50 pens, serve as the data source. The final dataset comprises 2800 original images, expanded to 5600 after augmentation, to dissect how different facial expressions reflect pig physiological states.ion. 1. The proposed Detect_FASFF detection head achieves mean average precision at 50% IoU (mAP
