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) is a common retinal vascular disease, which can cause severe visual impairment. It is of great clinical significance to use fundus images for intelligent diagnosis of DR. In this paper, an intelligent DR classification model of fundus images is proposed. This method can detect all the five stages of DR, including of no DR, mild, moderate, severe, and proliferative. This model is composed of two key modules. FEB, feature extraction block, is mainly used for feature extraction of fundus images, and GPB, grading prediction block, is used to classify the five stages of DR. The transformer in the FEB has more fine-grained attention that can pay more attention to retinal hemorrhage and exudate areas. The residual attention in the GPB can effectively capture different spatial regions occupied by different classes of objects. Comprehensive experiments on DDR datasets well demonstrate the superiority of our method, and compared with the benchmark method, our method has achieved competitive performance.
