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

Worldwide, polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is a common vision-threatening exudative maculopathy, and pigment epithelium detachment (PED) is an important clinical characteristic. Thus, precise and efficient PED segmentation is necessary for PCV clinical diagnosis and treatment. We propose a dual-stage learning framework via deep neural networks (DNN) for automated PED segmentation in PCV patients to avoid issues associated with manual PED segmentation (subjectivity, manual segmentation errors, and high time consumption).The optical coherence tomography scans of fifty patients were quantitatively evaluated with different algorithms and clinicians. Dual-stage DNN outperformed existing PED segmentation methods for all segmentation accuracy parameters, including true positive volume fraction (85.74 ± 8.69%), dice similarity coefficient (85.69 ± 8.08%), positive predictive value (86.02 ± 8.99%) and false positive volume fraction (0.38 ± 0.18%). Dual-stage DNN achieves accurate PED quantitative information, works with multiple types of PEDs and agrees well with manual delineation, suggesting that it is a potential automated assistant for PCV management.
