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

objectiveWe propose an hard exudate(EX)segmentation algorithm based on regional classification-guided wavelet Y-Net network to eliminate the influence of optic disc on EX segmentation process.

methodsThe wavelet Y-Net network was an end-to-end fundus image EX segmentation network, which combined the regional detection of optic disc and hard exudates segmentation by regional classification-guided EX segmentation to effectively reduce the interference of optic disc in EX segmentation.To avoid failure of small EX region segmentation caused by information loss due to down-sampling operation, discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and inverse discrete wavelet transform (IDWT) were introduced to replace the traditional pooling down-sampling and up-sampling operations.Meanwhile, the inception module based on residual connection was used to obtain the multi-scale features.The proposed algorithm was trained and tested on the IDRiD and e-ophtha EX datasets and evaluated at the pixel level.

resultsFor IDRiD and e-ophtha EX datasets, the proposed algorithm achieved accuracy rates of 0.9858 and 0.9938 with AUC values of 0.9880 and 0.9986, respectively.

conclusionThe proposed method can effectively avoid the influence of the optic disc, retain the image details, and improve the effect of EX segmentation.
