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

Wheat stripe rust poses a significant threat to food security in China. This study proposes RustMAE, a spatiotemporal Transformer-based early warning method utilizing masked autoencoders for 14-day disease spread forecasting during the spring epidemic season. RustMAE employs a dual-branch MAE pre-training framework that integrates spectral reconstruction and spatial structure recovery to learn disease-relevant features from large-scale unlabeled remote sensing imagery. A multi-scale spatiotemporal attention mechanism captures disease evolution patterns across 3-, 7-, and 14-day windows. By fusing optical imagery, synthetic aperture radar, and meteorological factors, the model constructs a multi-source driven disease risk prediction system. Validation on 1,847 samples from Shaanxi, Gansu, and Henan provinces (2019-2024) demonstrates that RustMAE achieves 87.23% overall accuracy and 0.924 AUC, significantly outperforming benchmark methods. This approach provides an innovative pathway for precise wheat stripe rust early warning and control.
