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

Intelligent bird species recognition is vital for biodiversity monitoring and ecological conservation. This study tackles the challenge of declining recognition accuracy caused by occlusions and imaging noise in complex natural environments. Focusing on ten representative bird species from the Dongting Lake Wetland, we propose an improved YOLOv11n-based model named MSFN-YOLO11, which incorporates multi-scale feature fusion. After selecting YOLOv11n as the baseline through comparison with the most-stable version of YOLOv8n, we enhance its backbone by introducing an MSFN module. This module strengthens global and local feature extraction via parallel dilated convolution and a channel attention mechanism. Experiments are conducted on a self-built dataset containing 4540 images of ten species with 6824 samples. To simulate real-world conditions, 25% of samples are augmented using random occlusion, Gaussian noise (σ = 0.2, 0.3, 0.4), and Poisson noise. The improved model achieves a
