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

Rice-milling quality is conventionally inspected post-process, leaving operators unable to correct breakage as it occurs. We present and quantitatively validate a cloud-mediated closed-loop architecture that couples a YOLO26 machine-vision pipeline to Arduino-based actuator control on a laboratory rice mill. The image-acquisition node uploads frames to a cloud repository; an inference and analysis node retrieves them, runs YOLO26 detection with a hybrid post-process classifier to estimate the broken-rice fraction, and issues a command to an Arduino microcontroller that drives PWM-modulated motor and vibrator actuators. The detector achieved a mean Average Precision of 0.951 (peak precision 0.99, peak recall 0.98) on a held-out test set of 100 images. In a matched comparison against an open-loop baseline (n=196,000 kernels, broken fraction 21.04%), closed-loop operation (n=114,000 kernels) reduced the broken fraction to 6.19%, an absolute improvement of 14.85 percentage points (two-proportion
