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

Accurate segmentation of retinal layer boundaries can facilitate the detection of patients with early ophthalmic disease. Typical segmentation algorithms operate at low resolutions without fully exploiting multi-granularity visual features. Moreover, several related studies do not release their datasets that are key for the research on deep learning-based solutions. We propose a novel end-to-end retinal layer segmentation network based on ConvNeXt, which can retain more feature map details by using a new depth-efficient attention module and multi-scale structures. In addition, we provide a semantic segmentation dataset containing 206 retinal images of healthy human eyes (named NR206 dataset), which is easy to use as it does not require any additional transcoding processing. We experimentally show that our segmentation approach outperforms state-of-the-art approaches on this new dataset, achieving, on average, a Dice score of 91.3% and mIoU of 84.4%. Moreover, our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance on a glaucoma dataset and a diabetic macular edema (DME) dataset, showing that our model is also suitable for other applications. We will make our source code and the NR206 dataset publicly available at (https://github.com/Medical-Image-Analysis/Retinal-layer-segmentation).
