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

Driver fatigue remains a major contributor to traffic accidents worldwide, underscoring the need for accurate and timely drowsiness detection systems. This work presents a real-time driver drowsiness detection framework utilizing deep learning-based facial analysis. The approach integrates pre-trained models (VGG19, VGG16, ResNet150, and DenseNet201) and a custom convolutional neural network (CNN) with an attention mechanism to classify drowsiness based on eye and mouth behavior. These models were fine-tuned and evaluated on the NTHU-DDD dataset. Experimental results show that the proposed CNN with attention mechanism achieves the highest performance, with an accuracy of 99.63% and perfect precision, recall, and F1-score. The attention mechanism further improves detection by emphasizing relevant facial regions. This framework demonstrates the potential for deployment in real-world driver monitoring systems and contributes to advancing driver-assistance technologies.
