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

Automation of logistics enhances efficiency, reduces costs, and minimizes human error. Image processing-particularly vision-based AI-enables real-time tracking, object recognition, and intelligent decision-making, thereby improving supply chain resilience. This study addresses the challenge of deploying deep learning-based object detection on resource-constrained embedded platforms, such as NVIDIA Jetson devices on UAVs and ground robots, for real-time logistics applications. Specifically, we provide a comprehensive comparative analysis of YOLOv5 and YOLOv8, evaluating their performance in terms of inference speed, accuracy, and dataset-specific metrics using both the Common Objects in Context (COCO) dataset and a novel, custom logistics dataset tailored for aerial and ground-based logistics scenarios. A key contribution is the development of a user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) for selective object visualization, enabling dynamic interaction and real-time filtering of detection results-significantly enhancing practical usability. Furthermore, we investigate and compare deployment strategies in both Python 3.9 and C# (ML. NET v3 and .NET Framework 7) environments, highlighting their respective impacts on performance and scalability. This research offers valuable insights and practical guidelines for optimizing real-time object detection deployment on embedded platforms in UAV- and ground robot-based logistics, with a focus on efficient resource utilization and enhanced operational effectiveness.
