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

To address the digitalization of poultry farming and demand for precise chick management, this study developed deep learning models for facial biometric recognition in Xianghuang chickens, an indigenous yellow-feathered breed from Hengyang, Hunan. A unified dataset of 6,024 images (frontal and profile views) was compiled to evaluate five architectures-ResNet-50, ResNet-101, MobileNetV2, EfficientNet-B0, and EfficientNet-B0+CBAM-on two tasks: individual identification and sex classification. For individual identification, all models performed excellently. Under frontal views, Top-1 accuracy exceeded 98% and Top-5 surpassed 99%, with no significant inter-model differences (
