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

The content of impurities in mechanically harvested sugarcane is a critical factor for evaluating harvest quality and determining market price. To enable intelligent detection of impurities in mechanically harvested sugarcane, this study proposes an impurity detection method based on an improved YOLOv11n-seg model. The method integrates four enhancement modules into the original YOLOv11n-seg architecture. Firstly, a lightweight C2_Ghost module is introduced into the high-channel feature extraction stages of both the backbone and neck, thereby reducing computational complexity and feature redundancy. Subsequently, a C2_FSAS module is designed to perform frequency-domain relationship modelling, enhancing long-range semantic dependency representation. An Efficient Channel Attention (ECA) mechanism is then applied to deep high-level semantic features to adaptively reweight salient feature channels. Finally, the traditional fixed interpolation-based upsampling operation is replaced with a dynamic DySample upsampling strategy to recover fine-grained edge features. Experimental results indicate that Improved YOLOv11n-seg achieves segmentation performance of 97.0%, 98.1%, 99.2%, and 82.9% in terms of P, R, mAP
