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

Purpose: Cataract surgery is the most common eye surgery. Appropriate optimization of intraocular lens (IOL) calculation formulae can result in improved patient outcomes. The purpose of this article is to describe a methodology of optimizing existing IOL formulae and develop hybrid formulae based on artificial intelligence (AI). Methods: Preoperative biometric and postoperative outcomes data were obtained from medical records at a single institution. A numeric computing environment was used to analyze these data and refine IOL formulae using supervised learning AI. The mean absolute error of each IOL formulae with and without AI enhancement was determined, as well as the number of eyes within 0.5 diopter of the predicted refraction. Results: AI algorithms improved the mean absolute error as well as number of eyes within 0.5 diopters of predicted refraction for each of the formulae tested (P < 0.05). Conclusions: A novel methodology is described that uses AI to improve existing IOL formulae. This methodology has the potential to improve clinical outcomes for cataract surgery patients. Translational Relevance: Artificial intelligence can be used to improve existing IOL formulae.
