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

Single-image super-resolution (SISR) is an essential low-level visual task that aims to produce high-resolution images from low-resolution inputs. However, most existing SISR methods heavily rely on ideal degradation kernels and rarely consider the actual noise distribution. To tackle these issues, this paper presents a progressive upsampling generative adversarial network with collaborative attention mechanism called PUGAN. Specifically, the residual multiscale blocks (RMBs) based on stacked mixed-pooling multiscale structures (MPMSs) is designed to make full use of multiscale global-local hierarchical features, and the frequency collaborative attention mechanism (CAM) is used to fully dig up high- and low-frequency characteristics. Meanwhile, we design a progressive upsampling strategy to guide the model's learning better while reducing the model's complexity. Finally, the discriminator is also used to evaluate the reconstructed high-resolution images for balancing super-resolution reconstruction and detail enhancement. Our PUGAN can yield comparable PSNR/SSIM/LPIPS values for the NTIRE 2020, Urban 100, and B100 datasets, whose values are 33.987/0.9673/0.1210, 32.966/0.9483/0.1431, and 33.627/0.9546/0.1354 for the scale factor of ×2 as well as 26.349/0.8721/0.1975, 26.110/0.8614/0.1983, and 26.306/0.8803/0.1978 for the scale factor of ×4, respectively. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our PUGAN outperforms state-of-the-art SISR methods in qualitative and quantitative assessments for the SISR task. Additionally, our PUGAN shows the potential benefits to pathological image super-resolution.
