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

Accurate segmentation of optic disc (OD) and optic cup (OC) in fundus images is crucial for the analysis of many retinal diseases, such as the screening and diagnosis of glaucoma and atrophy segmentation. Due to domain shift between different datasets caused by different acquisition devices and modes and inadequate training caused by small sample dataset, the existing deep-learning-based OD and OC segmentation networks have poor generalization ability for different fundus image datasets. In this paper, adopting the mixed training strategy based on different datasets for the first time, we propose an encoder-decoder based general OD and OC segmentation network (named as GDCSeg-Net) with the newly designed multi-scale weight-shared attention (MSA) module and densely connected depthwise separable convolution (DSC) module, to effectively overcome these two problems. Experimental results show that our proposed GDCSeg-Net is competitive with other state-of-the-art methods on five different public fundus image datasets, including REFUGE, MESSIDOR, RIM-ONE-R3, Drishti-GS and IDRiD.
