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

Accurate object detection and measurement within indoor environments-particularly unfurnished or minimalistic spaces-pose unique challenges for conventional computer vision methods. Previous research has been limited to small objects that can be fully detected by applications such as YOLO, or to outdoor environments where reference elements are more abundant. However, in indoor scenarios with limited detectable references-such as walls that exceed the camera's field of view-current models exhibit difficulties in producing complete detections and accurate distance estimates. This paper introduces a geometry-driven, redundancy-based framework that leverages proportional laws and architectural heuristics to enhance the measurement accuracy of walls and spatial divisions using standard smartphone cameras. The model was trained on 204 labeled indoor images over 25 training iterations (500 epochs) with augmentation, achieving a mean average precision (mAP@50) of 0.995, precision of 0.995, and recall of 0.992, confirming convergence and generalisation. Applying the redundancy correction method reduced distance deviation errors to approximately 10%, corresponding to a mean absolute error below 2% in the use case. Unlike depth-sensing systems, the proposed solution requires no specialised hardware and operates fully on 2D visual input, allowing on-device and offline use. The framework provides a scalable, low-cost alternative for accurate spatial measurement and demonstrates the feasibility of camera-based geometry correction in real-world indoor settings. Future developments may integrate the proposed redundancy correction with emerging multimodal models such as SpatialLM to extend precision toward full-room spatial reasoning in applications including construction, real estate evaluation, energy auditing, and seismic assessment.
