EyeCNN: exploring the potential of convolutional neural networks for identification of multiple eye diseases through retinal imagery.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe eyes are the most important part of the human body as these are directly connected to the brain and help us perceive the imagery in daily life whereas, eye diseases are mostly ignored and underestimated until it is too late. Diagnosing eye disorders through manual diagnosis by the physician can be very costly and time taking.
objectiveThus, to tackle this, a novel method namely EyeCNN is proposed for identifying eye diseases through retinal images using EfficientNet B3.
methodsA dataset of retinal imagery of three diseases, i.e. Diabetic Retinopathy, Glaucoma, and Cataract is used to train 12 convolutional networks while EfficientNet B3 was the topperforming model out of all 12 models with a testing accuracy of 94.30%.
resultsAfter preprocessing of the dataset and training of models, various experimentations were performed to see where our model stands. The evaluation was performed using some well-defined measures and the final model was deployed on the Streamlit server as a prototype for public usage. The proposed model has the potential to help diagnose eye diseases early, which can facilitate timely treatment.
conclusionThe use of EyeCNN for classifying eye diseases has the potential to aid ophthalmologists in diagnosing conditions accurately and efficiently. This research may also lead to a deeper understanding of these diseases and it may lead to new treatments.
