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

backgroundManaging stored-grain pests requires new strategies to limit economic and health risks. This study analyses the sublethal effects of the natural compound carlina oxide on Prostephanus truncatus, providing new behavioural insights through a multidisciplinary approach. A fully automatic computer vision approach was developed to label two specific insect body parts, enabling the generation of an annotated dataset without manual intervention. This dataset was used to train a convolutional neural network (CNN) for pose estimation. A second dedicated CNN focused on the antennae to investigate neuroethological and sensory variations.

resultsCNN for body parts detection achieved an average precision of 0.78, recall of 0.90, and F1 score of 0.84 on the test dataset. An additional CNN tracked key points for antennal pose estimation. Motor analysis showed that the LC
