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 morphological identification of lepidopteran pest pupae has long been a difficult task. To explore automated solutions, this study established a standardized, multi-angle image dataset of pupae from 11 economically important lepidopteran pests. We then systematically evaluated six deep learning models, including both convolutional neural networks and Transformer architectures. The results show that all models successfully learned to distinguish the vast majority of species, with Vit-Small achieving the highest accuracy (98.71 ± 0.16%) and the highest F1-score (98.69 ± 0.20%). This confirms that pupal morphology provides sufficient discriminative visual information to support highly accurate automated identification. However, all models exhibited consistent, minor confusion among
