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

In clinical ophthalmology, a variety of image-related diagnostic techniques have begun to offer unprecedented insights into eye diseases based on morphological datasets with millions of data points. Artificial intelligence (AI), inspired by the human multilayered neuronal system, has shown astonishing success within some visual and auditory recognition tasks. In these tasks, AI can analyze digital data in a comprehensive, rapid and non-invasive manner. Bioinformatics has become a focus particularly in the field of medical imaging, where it is driven by enhanced computing power and cloud storage, as well as utilization of novel algorithms and generation of data in massive quantities. Machine learning (ML) is an important branch in the field of AI. The overall potential of ML to automatically pinpoint, identify and grade pathological features in ocular diseases will empower ophthalmologists to provide high-quality diagnosis and facilitate personalized health care in the near future. This review offers perspectives on the origin, development, and applications of ML technology, particularly regarding its applications in ophthalmic imaging modalities.
