Macular edema in retinal fundus images by a computational algorithm
Article in Revista medica del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Diabetes is a metabolic disease highly prevalent in our country that ends in disabling complications such as diabetic retinopathy and macular edema. As a high-impact socioeconomic issue, it is important to look for an early diagnostic test that also allows us to introduce a telemedicine service for the population with little access to specialized health services. Objective: To describe the performance in discrimination of macular edema of a feature detection algorithm on retinal fundus images from diabetic patients. Material and methods: We use a database of 266 retinal fundus images of diabetic patients and were classified in Macular Edema or Without Macular Edema by ophthalmologists' assessment and we test if the algorithm was capable of establish the presence or not of macular edema. Results: We made 3 tests in which the standards of sensitivity, specificity and efficiency of the algorithm were increasing according to the amount of retinal fundus images in the training phase, reaching specificity values of 100%, sensitivity 84% and efficiency 91.30%. Conclusions: Our study lays the foundation of a reliable screening method due to its high specificity value and allows not only a binary reply in the presence or not of macular edema but the clinical and topographic classification favoring the onset of treatment.
