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

Purpose: This study was designed to apply deep learning models in retinal disease screening and lesion detection based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. Methods: We collected 37,138 OCT images from 775 patients and labelled by ophthalmologists. Multiple deep learning models including ResNet50 and YOLOv3 were developed to identify the types and locations of diseases or lesions based on the images. Results: The model were evaluated using patient-based independent holdout set. For binary classification of OCT images with or without lesions, the performance accuracy was 98.5%, sensitivity was 98.7%, specificity was 98.4%, and the F1 score was 97.7%. For multiclass multilabel disease classification, the models was able to detect vitreomacular traction syndrome and age-related macular degeneration both with an accuracy of more than 99%, sensitivity of more than 98%, specificity of more than 98%, and an F1 score of more than 97%. For lesion location detection, the recalls for different lesion types ranged from 87.0% (epiretinal membrane) to 98.2% (macular pucker). Conclusions: Deep learning-based models have potentials to aid retinal disease screening, classification and diagnosis with excellent performance, which may serve as useful references for ophthalmologists. Translational Relevance: The deep learning-based models are capable of identifying and predicting different eye diseases and lesions from OCT images and may have potential clinical application to assist the ophthalmologists for fast and accuracy retinal disease screening.
