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

Deep learning (DL), a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) based on deep neural networks, has made significant breakthroughs in medical imaging, particularly for image classification and pattern recognition. In ophthalmology, applying DL for glaucoma assessment with optical coherence tomography (OCT), including OCT traditional reports, two-dimensional (2D) B-scans, and three-dimensional (3D) volumetric scans, has increasingly raised research interests. Studies have demonstrated that using DL for interpreting OCT is efficient, accurate, and with good performance for discriminating glaucomatous eyes from normal eyes, suggesting that incorporation of DL technology in OCT for glaucoma assessment could potentially address some gaps in the current practice and clinical workflow. However, further research is crucial in tackling some existing challenges, such as annotation standardization (i.e., setting a standard for ground truth labelling among different studies), development of DL-powered IT infrastructure for real-world implementation, prospective validation in unseen datasets for further evaluation of generalizability, cost-effectiveness analysis after integration of DL, the AI "black box" explanation problem. This review summarizes recent studies on the application of DL on OCT for glaucoma assessment, identifies the potential clinical impact arising from the development and deployment of the DL models, and discusses future research directions.
