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

Adaptive optics-optical coherence tomography (AO-OCT) allows for the three-dimensional visualization of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in the living human eye. Quantitative analyses of RGCs have significant potential for improving the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases such as glaucoma. Recent advances in machine learning (ML) have made possible the automatic identification and analysis of RGCs within the complex three-dimensional retinal volumes obtained with such imaging. However, the current state-of-the-art ML approach relies on fully supervised training, which demands large amounts of training labels. Each volume requires many hours of expert manual annotation. Here, two semi-supervised training schemes are introduced, (i) cross-consistency training and (ii) cross pseudo supervision that utilize unlabeled AO-OCT volumes together with a minimal set of labels, vastly reducing the labeling demands. Moreover, these methods outperformed their fully supervised counterpart and achieved accuracy comparable to that of human experts.
