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

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is the most widely used imaging modality in ophthalmology. There are multiple variations of OCT imaging capable of producing complementary information. Thus, registering these complementary volumes is desirable in order to combine their information. In this work, we propose a novel automated pipeline to register OCT images produced by different devices. This pipeline is based on two steps: a multi-modal 2D en-face registration based on deep learning, and a Z-axis (axial axis) registration based on the retinal layer segmentation. We evaluate our method using data from a Heidelberg Spectralis and an experimental PS-OCT device. The empirical results demonstrated high-quality registrations, with mean errors of approximately 46 µm for the 2D registration and 9.59 µm for the Z-axis registration. These registrations may help in multiple clinical applications such as the validation of layer segmentations among others.
