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

Traditional manual grading of fresh chili peppers suffers from inconsistent quality control and low efficiency. To meet the demand for accurate fruit shape recognition during the post-harvest stage, this study proposes an intelligent recognition method based on an improved DenseNet-121 network. This approach facilitates the application of machine vision in agricultural sorting equipment. DenseNet-121 serves as the backbone network. The Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) is introduced to enhance feature focus on fruit shapes. A regularization strategy (Dropout = 0.3, weight decay = 1 × 10
