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

The human population is steadily growing with increased life expectancy, impacting the prevalence of age-dependent diseases, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Health care systems are confronted with an increasing burden with rising patient numbers accompanied by ongoing developments of therapeutic approaches. Concurrent advances in imaging modalities provide eye care professionals with a large amount of data for each patient. Furthermore, with continuous progress in therapeutics, there is an unmet need for reliable structural and functional biomarkers in clinical trials and practice to optimize personalized patient care and evaluate individual responses to treatment. A fast and objective solution is Artificial intelligence (AI), which has revolutionized assessment of AMD in all disease stages. Reliable and validated AI-algorithms can aid to overcome the growing number of patients, visits and necessary treatments as well as maximize the benefits of multimodal imaging in clinical trials. Therefore, there are ongoing efforts to develop and validate automated algorithms to unlock more information from datasets allowing automated assessment of disease activity and disease progression. This review aims to present selected AI algorithms, their development, applications and challenges regarding assessment and prediction of AMD progression.
