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

Hand-drawn circuit diagrams remain common in education, maintenance, and early-stage design and are often photographed for storage, sharing, and reuse. Recovering electrically meaningful structure from such camera-acquired images is difficult because irregular strokes, wire discontinuities, crossings, symbol-text interference, and imaging artifacts can disrupt valid circuit topology. We therefore formulate the task as topology recovery with semantic completion rather than symbol recognition alone. To solve it, we propose a topology-consistent structural parsing framework that integrates multi-source visual perception, wire connected-component-guided connectivity reasoning, and explicit endpoint semantic recovery for direction-sensitive and multi-terminal components. On an independent benchmark of 1317 hand-drawn circuit diagrams, the proposed method achieves a 95.14% strict image-level end-to-end success rate. The recovered structures are further exported as Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis (SPICE)-compatible netlists for downstream simulation and verification. These results support a practical vision-based image acquisition and processing workflow for converting camera-acquired hand-drawn circuit images into machine-readable and simulation-ready circuit representations.
