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

The stage and duration of hypertension are connected to the occurrence of Hypertensive Retinopathy (HR) of eye disease. Currently, a few computerized systems have been developed to recognize HR by using only two stages. It is difficult to define specialized features to recognize five grades of HR. In addition, deep features have been used in the past, but the classification accuracy is not up-to-the-mark. In this research, a new hypertensive retinopathy (HYPER-RETINO) framework is developed to grade the HR based on five grades. The HYPER-RETINO system is implemented based on pre-trained HR-related lesions. To develop this HYPER-RETINO system, several steps are implemented such as a preprocessing, the detection of HR-related lesions by semantic and instance-based segmentation and a DenseNet architecture to classify the stages of HR. Overall, the HYPER-RETINO system determined the local regions within input retinal fundus images to recognize five grades of HR. On average, a 10-fold cross-validation test obtained sensitivity (SE) of 90.5%, specificity (SP) of 91.5%, accuracy (ACC) of 92.6%, precision (PR) of 91.7%, Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) of 61%, F1-score of 92% and area-under-the-curve (AUC) of 0.915 on 1400 HR images. Thus, the applicability of the HYPER-RETINO method to reliably diagnose stages of HR is verified by experimental findings.
