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

We introduce Chákṣu-a retinal fundus image database for the evaluation of computer-assisted glaucoma prescreening techniques. The database contains 1345 color fundus images acquired using three brands of commercially available fundus cameras. Each image is provided with the outlines for the optic disc (OD) and optic cup (OC) using smooth closed contours and a decision of normal versus glaucomatous by five expert ophthalmologists. In addition, segmentation ground-truths of the OD and OC are provided by fusing the expert annotations using the mean, median, majority, and Simultaneous Truth and Performance Level Estimation (STAPLE) algorithm. The performance indices show that the ground-truth agreement with the experts is the best with STAPLE algorithm, followed by majority, median, and mean. The vertical, horizontal, and area cup-to-disc ratios are provided based on the expert annotations. Image-wise glaucoma decisions are also provided based on majority voting among the experts. Chákṣu is the largest Indian-ethnicity-specific fundus image database with expert annotations and would aid in the development of artificial intelligence based glaucoma diagnostics.
