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

Various machine-learning schemes have been proposed to diagnose glaucoma. They can classify subjects into 'normal' or 'glaucoma'-positive but cannot determine the severity of the latter. To complement this, researchers have proposed statistical indices for glaucoma risk. However, they are based on a single examination indicator and do not reflect the total severity of glaucoma progression. In this study, we propose an integrated glaucoma risk index (I-GRI) based on the visual field (VF) test, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and intraocular pressure (IOP) test. We extracted important features from the examination data using a machine learning scheme and integrated them into a single measure using a mathematical equation. The proposed index produces a value between 0 and 1; the higher the risk index value, the greater the risk/severity of glaucoma. In the sanity test using test cases, the I-GRI showed a balanced distribution in both glaucoma and normal cases. When we classified glaucoma and normal cases using the I-GRI, we obtained a misclassification rate of 0.07 (7%). The proposed index is useful for diagnosing glaucoma and for detecting its progression.
