A machine learning approach for classifying date fruit varieties at the Rutab stage.
Article in Frontiers in plant science, 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
Introduction: Dates have long been a vital part of the cultural and nutritional heritage of arid regions, particularly in the Middle East. Among their ripening stages, the Rutab stage-an intermediate phase between the Khalal (immature) and Tamar (fully ripe) stages-holds unique significance in terms of taste, texture, and market value. However, the classification of Rutab varieties remains underrepresented in the literature. Methods: To address this gap, we present a pipeline that leverages machine learning to classify Rutab dates from images. A custom dataset comprising 1,659 images across eight popular Rutab types was collected, and several deep learning models were evaluated. Results and discussion: Among the tested models, YOLOv12 achieved the highest recall of 93%. The proposed system is deployed within a mobile application, aiming to promote cultural preservation and increase global awareness of the diversity found within date varieties.
