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

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are forms of degenerative retinal disorders that may result in vision impairment or even permanent blindness. Early detection of these conditions is essential to maintaining a patient's quality of life. The fundus photography technique is non-invasive, safe, and rapid way of assessing the function of the retina. It is widely used as a diagnostic tool for patients who suffer from fundus-related diseases. Using fundus images to analyze these two diseases is a challenging exercise, since there are rarely obvious features in the images during the incipient stages of the disease. In order to deal with these issues, we have proposed a deep learning method called FunSwin. The Swin Transformer constitutes the main framework for this method. Additionally, due to the characteristics of medical images, such as their small number and relatively fixed structure, transfer learning strategy that are able to increase the low-level characteristics of the model as well as data enhancement strategy to balance the data are integrated. Experiments have demonstrated that the proposed method outperforms other state-of-the-art approaches in both binary and multiclass classification tasks on the benchmark dataset.
