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

Autonomous-vehicle perception models perform well in clear daytime but degrade under adverse weather and low illumination. We quantify how annotation quality affects YOLO-based 2D detection using the forward-facing RGB subset of the MUSES dataset spanning clear, rain, fog, snow, and night. Focusing on lightweight detectors (YOLOv11n/YOLOv11s) to reflect embedded ADAS constraints, we observe systematic label noise (missing objects, mislocalized boxes, and class inconsistencies) that limits achievable accuracy. We therefore introduce a semi-automatic label-upgrading pipeline: a high-capacity teacher produces candidate labels, which are then verified and corrected by a human annotator. Under identical training settings, retraining on the cleaned annotations improves mAP@0.5 from approximately 0.13 to 0.56-0.62 across conditions, indicating that supervision quality is a major bottleneck for all-weather detection and that data-centric fixes can unlock large gains even for lightweight models.
