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

To address the significant morphological variability of cotton Verticillium wilt lesions and the complex background interference present in field environments, existing detection models often struggle to achieve an effective balance between detection accuracy and model complexity. In this study, a precise and lightweight detection model, YOLO-SCOD, is proposed based on the YOLOv12n framework to enhance lesion recognition performance. During the feature extraction stage, YOLO-SCOD adopts the StarNet architecture as the backbone network. Its efficient feature mapping mechanism enhances the ability to interact with multi-scale features, thereby optimizing the model's capacity to represent multi-scale lesion information. Meanwhile, a channel aggregation block is integrated into the C3k module of the neck network. Through adaptive channel reallocation and enhancement of key lesion features, the perception capability of the C3k2 and A2C2f modules for discriminative lesion features is improved. In the detection head, depthwise convolution is replaced with omni-dimensional dynamic convolution, which dynamically and adaptively adjusts convolutional weights through multi-dimensional attention collaboration, further improving the model's localization accuracy and recognition capability. Experimental results demonstrate that the YOLO-SCOD model achieves improved performance improvements in the task of cotton Verticillium wilt detection. Compared with YOLOv12n, its precision and recall increase to 0.960 and 0.911, respectively, while mAP50-95 improves by 6.436%. In addition, the number of model parameters, FLOPs, and model size are reduced by 13.728%, 20.635%, and 12.727%, respectively, and inference speed increased by 4.167%. While maintaining high detection accuracy, YOLO-SCOD exhibits favorable lightweight characteristics, providing a viable solution for efficient automatic identification and intelligent detection of cotton Verticillium wilt.
