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

Accurate classification of urban tree species is fundamental for urban green space management and ecological assessment. To address the challenges of small and overlapping tree crown detection in high-resolution remote sensing imagery, this study proposes YOLO-CNGD, a novel framework based on YOLOv11n. The key enhancements include the integration of the Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) for refined feature representation, the adoption of the Normalized Wasserstein Distance (NWD) loss for robust small-object localization, the incorporation of Deformable Convolution v3 (DCNv3) to adapt to irregular shapes, and the replacement of standard convolutions with GhostConv for a lightweight design. Experiments on a self-built urban tree dataset show that YOLO-CNGD achieves a precision of 94.8%, a recall of 91.1%, and an mAP@0.5 of 93.7%. The model balances accuracy and efficiency, showing great potential for large-scale automated urban tree inventory.
