An Efficient Lightweight Method for Steel Surface Defect Detection.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Surface defects are inevitable in the production of steel. However, traditional methods in industrial production face great challenges in detecting complex defects. Therefore, we propose LCED-YOLO based on YOLOv11 for steel defect detection. Firstly, an edge information enhancement module, C3K2-MSE, is designed to strengthen the extraction of edge information. Secondly, LDConv is introduced to lightweight the neck structure and reduce parameters. Then, a lightweight decoupling head designed for model detection tasks is proposed, further achieving model lightweighting. Finally, by introducing a learnable attention factor to optimize the CIoU loss, we focused on locating difficult samples, enhancing the detection capability. A large number of experiments were conducted on the NEU-DET and GC10-DET datasets. Compared to YOLOv11, the mAP50 of the proposed model improved by 2.6% and 3.3%, attaining 79.8% and 70.3%, respectively. It decreased 19% of parameters and 23% of floating-point operations, fulfilling the needs of lightweight and detection precision.
