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

backgroundThis study aimed to simulate the visual field (VF) effects of patients with VF defects using deep learning and computer vision technology.

methodsWe collected 3,660 Humphrey visual fields (HVFs) as data samples, including 3,263 reliable 24-2 HVFs. The convolutional neural network (CNN) analyzed and converted the grayscale map of reliable samples into structured data. The artificial intelligence (AI) simulations were developed using computer vision technology. In statistical analyses, the pilot study determined 687 reliable samples to conduct clinical trials, and the two independent sample t-tests were used to calculate the difference of the cumulative gray values. Three volunteers evaluated the matching degree of shape and position between the grayscale map and the AI simulation, which was graded from 0 to100 scores. Based on the average ranking, the proportion of good and excellent grades was determined, and thus the reliability of the AI simulations was assessed.

resultsThe reliable samples in the experimental data consisted of 1,334 normal samples and 1,929 abnormal samples. Based on the existing mature CNN model, the fully connected layer was integrated to analyze the VF damage parameters of the input images, and the prediction accuracy of the damage type of the VF defects was up to 89%. By mapping the area and damage information in the VF damage parameter quintuple data set into the real scene image and adjusting the darkening effect according to the damage parameter, the visual effects in patients were simulated in the real scene image. In the clinical validation, there was no statistically significant difference in the cumulative gray value (P>0.05). The good and excellent proportion of the average scores reached 96.0%, thus confirming the accuracy of the AI model.

conclusionsAn AI model with high accuracy was established to simulate the visual effects in patients with VF defects.
