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

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a useful imaging modality facilitating the capturing process from retinal layers. In the salient diseases of retina, cysts are formed in retinal layers. Therefore, the identification of cysts in the retinal layers is of great importance. In this paper, a new method is proposed for the rapid detection of cystic OCT B-scans. In the proposed method, a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is used for mathematically modelling the existence of cyst. In fact, the existence of cyst in the image can be considered as a hidden state. Since the existence of cyst in an OCT B-scan depends on the existence of cyst in the previous B-scans, HMM is an appropriate tool for modelling this process. In the first phase, a number of features are extracted which are Harris, KAZE, HOG, SURF, FAST, Min-Eigen and feature extracted by deep AlexNet. It is shown that the feature with the best discriminating power is the feature extracted by AlexNet. The features extracted in the first phase are used as observation vectors to estimate the HMM parameters. The evaluation results show the improved performance of HMM in terms of accuracy.
