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

The cognitive function of tracking multiple objects, essential for autonomous mobile vehicles or autonomous robots, involves object detection and their temporal associations. While significant progress has recently been made in machine learning to elaborate the similarity matrix between the objects that have been recognized and the objects detected in the current video frame, less progress has been made on the assignment problem that ultimately determines temporal associations, which is a combinatorial optimization problem. Here we show a vehicle-mountable multiple object tracking system with a flexible assignment function for tracking through multiple long-term occlusion events. To solve the flexible assignment problem, formulated as a nondeterministic polynomial-time hard problem, the system relies on an embedded Ising machine based on a quantum-inspired algorithm called simulated bifurcation. Using a vehicle-mountable computing platform, we demonstrate real-time system-wide throughput of more than 20 frames per second with the enhanced functionality.
