A Platform for Tracking Surgeon and Observer Gaze as a Surrogate for Attention in Ophthalmic Surgery.
Article in Ophthalmology science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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: To develop and validate a platform that can extract eye gaze metrics from surgeons observing cataract and vitreoretinal procedures and to enable post hoc data analysis to assess potential discrepancies in eye movement behavior according to surgeon experience. Design: Experimental, prospective, single-center study. Participants: Eleven ophthalmic surgeons observing deidentified vitreoretinal and cataract surgical procedures performed at a single university-based medical center. Methods: An open-source platform was developed to extract gaze coordinates and metrics from ophthalmic surgeons via a computer vision algorithm in conjunction with a neural network to track and segment instruments and tissues, identifying areas of attention in the visual field of study subjects. Eleven surgeons provided validation data by watching videos of 6 heterogeneous vitreoretinal and cataract surgical phases. Main Outcome Measures: Accuracy and distance traveled by the eye gaze of participants and overlap of the participants' eye gaze with instruments and tissues while observing surgical procedures. Results: The platform demonstrated repeatability of > 94% when acquiring the eye gaze behavior of subjects. Attending ophthalmic surgeons and clinical fellows exhibited a lower overall cartesian distance traveled in comparison to resident physicians in ophthalmology ( Conclusions: The platform proved effective in extracting gaze metrics of ophthalmic surgeons. These preliminary data suggest that surgeon gaze behavior differs according to experience.
