Digital ray: enhancing cataractous fundus images using style transfer generative adversarial networks to improve retinopathy detection.
Trial report in The British journal of ophthalmology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05491798 (A Big Data-based Cohort Study for Cataract Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
aimsThe aim of this study was to develop and evaluate digital ray, based on preoperative and postoperative image pairs using style transfer generative adversarial networks (GANs), to enhance cataractous fundus images for improved retinopathy detection.
methodsFor eligible cataract patients, preoperative and postoperative colour fundus photographs (CFP) and ultra-wide field (UWF) images were captured. Then, both the original CycleGAN and a modified CycleGAN (C
resultsA total of 959 CFP and 1009 UWF image pairs were included in model development. FID and KID indicated that images generated by C
conclusionDigital ray could generate realistic postoperative CFP and UWF images with enhanced quality and accuracy for overall detection and subtype diagnosis of retinopathies, especially for CFP.\ TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: This study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05491798).
