Ultra-Widefield Fluorescein Angiography Image Brightness Compensation Based on Geometrical Features.

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.
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
Ultra-widefield fluorescein angiography (UWFA) is an emerging imaging modality used to characterise pathologies in the retinal vasculature, such as microaneurysms (MAs) and vascular leakages. Despite its potential value for diagnosis and disease screening, objective quantitative assessment of retinal pathologies by UWFA is currently limited because laborious manual processing is required. In this report, we describe a geometrical method for uneven brightness compensation inherent to UWFA imaging technique. The correction function is based on the geometrical eyeball shape, therefore it is fully automated and depends only on pixel distance from the center of the imaged retina. The method's performance was assessed on a database containing 256 UWFA images with the use of several image quality measures that show the correction method improves image quality. The method is also compared to the commonly used CLAHE approach and was also employed in a pilot study for vascular segmentation, giving a noticeable improvement in segmentation results. Therefore, the method can be used as an image preprocessing step in retinal UWFA image analysis.
