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

The utilization of uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) in search and rescue (SAR) operations has become increasingly prevalent because the deployment of UAVs is expected to facilitate a higher degree of operational flexibility while simultaneously reducing costs. Currently, commercially available UAVs can be equipped with low-resolution thermal infrared (IR) cameras with typical resolutions of 640 × 512 pixels, which generally are evaluated manually by the SAR teams during an operation. Automatic person detection in IR images still remains a challenge. The objective of the proposed AIResQ dataset is to significantly enhance the performance of object detectors in the IR domain, employed in SAR operations for missing and potentially injured persons. AIResQ comprises 9,788 IR images with a resolution of up to 2048 × 1536 pixels captured from drone perspectives with a handheld camera under varying weather conditions and in different terrains. Additionally, AIResQ displays persons in atypical poses. In order to test new object detectors in the context of SAR, we established a benchmark dataset stemming from exercises with real drone flights together with SAR organizations.
