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

Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is one of the most common retinal syndromes that occurs in elderly people. Different eye testing techniques such as fundus photography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) are used to clinically examine the ARMD-affected patients. Many researchers have worked on detecting ARMD from fundus images, few of them also worked on detecting ARMD from OCT images. However, there are only few systems that establish the correspondence between fundus and OCT images to give an accurate prediction of ARMD pathology. In this paper, we present fully automated decision support system that can automatically detect ARMD by establishing correspondence between OCT and fundus imagery. The proposed system also distinguishes between early, suspect and confirmed ARMD by correlating OCT B-scans with respective region of the fundus image. In first phase, proposed system uses different B-scan based features along with support vector machine (SVM) to detect the presence of drusens and classify it as ARMD or normal case. In case input OCT scan is classified as ARMD, region of interest from corresponding fundus image is considered for further evaluation. The analysis of fundus image is performed using contrast enhancement and adaptive thresholding to detect possible drusens from fundus image and proposed system finally classified it as early stage ARMD or advance stage ARMD. The proposed system is tested on local data set of 100 patients with100 fundus images and 6800 OCT B-scans. Proposed system detects ARMD with the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity ratings of 98.0, 100, and 97.14%, respectively.
