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

To address challenges in weld recognition during vacuum electron beam welding caused by dark environments and metal reflections, this study proposes an improved hybrid algorithm combining YOLOv11-seg with adaptive Canny edge detection. By incorporating the UFO-ViT attention mechanism and optimizing the network architecture with the EIoU loss function, along with adaptive threshold setting for the Canny operator using the Otsu method, the recognition performance under complex conditions is significantly enhanced. Experimental results demonstrate that the optimized model achieves an average precision (mAP) of 77.4%, representing a 9-percentage-point improvement over the baseline YOLOv11-seg. The system operates at 20 frames per second (FPS), meeting real-time requirements, with the generated welding trajectories showing an average length deviation of less than 3 mm from actual welds. This approach provides an effective pre-weld visual guidance solution, which is a critical step towards the automation of electron beam welding.
