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

Timely treatment is essential in the management of glaucoma. However, subjective assessment of visual field (VF) progression is not recommended, because it can be unreliable. There are two types of artificial intelligence (AI) strong and weak (machine learning). Weak AIs can perform specific tasks. Linear regression is a method of weak AI. Using linear regression in the real-world clinic has enabled analyzing and predicting VF progression. However, caution is still required when interpreting the results, because whenever the number of VF data sets investigated is small, the predictions can be inaccurate. Several other non-ordinal, or modern AI methods have been constructed to improve prediction accuracy, such as clustering and more modern AI methods of Analysis with Non-Stationary Weibull Error Regression and Spatial Enhancement (ANSWERS), Variational Bayes Linear Regression (VBLR), Kalman Filter and sparse modeling (The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression: Lasso). It is also possible to improve the prediction performance using retinal thickness measured with optical coherence tomography by using machine learning methods, such as multitask learning.
