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

Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a retinal disorder caused by the accumulation of fluid, resulting in vision distortion. The diagnosis of this disease is typically performed through Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging, which displays any fluid buildup between the retinal layers. Currently, these fluid regions are manually detected by visual inspection a time-consuming and subjective process that can be prone to errors. A series of six deep learning-based automatic segmentation architectural configurations of different levels of complexity were trained and compared in order to determine the best model intended for the automatic segmentation of CSC-related lesions in OCT images. The best performing models were then evaluated in an external validation study. Furthermore, an intra- and inter-expert analysis was conducted in order to compare the manual segmentation performed by expert ophthalmologists with the automatic segmentation provided by the models. Test results of the best performing configuration achieved a mean Dice of
