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

We present a high-resolution 3D facial dataset focused on East Asian participants, designed to provide consistent topology and expression diversity. The dataset includes 98 individuals (18-30 years) and captures neutral faces, six basic emotions, and nine Facial Action Coding System (FACS)-based Action Units (AUs). Each 3D mesh is acquired under a standardized protocol. Synchronized multi-view RGB images are available only for a subset of participants who provided additional consent. To ensure structural consistency across subjects and expressions, we developed a processing pipeline combining FLAME-based expression fitting with Edge-Constrained Non-rigid Iterative Closest Point (Edge-NICP). The resulting meshes share unified topology and vertex correspondence, enabling direct point-to-point comparisons across conditions. Rich annotations, including facial landmarks, verified AU labels, and vertex-level deformation fields, accompany the dataset. Together, these resources may facilitate research in computer graphics, human-computer interaction, and cross-modal studies that benefit from expression-rich, topology-standardized 3D face data.
