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

Disparity estimation from stereo-endoscopic images is critical for 3D reconstruction in minimally invasive surgery (MIS). However, surgical environments have inherent interference factors including soft tissue deformation, motion blur, and photometric inconsistency. Currently, self-supervised generative networks such as StyleGAN offer an alternative method, but their reliance on iterative latent optimization leads to high computational latency and limits practical deployment. In this work, we propose a temporal latent prediction method to accelerate this optimization process. Instead of designing a brand new generator, our framework learns to predict an optimized initial latent vector, thereby reducing the number of optimization steps and per-frame inference time. Crucially, this prediction-guided mechanism does not alter the architecture or inference logic of the generator, ensuring the fidelity of reconstruction is comparable to that of the original method.
