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

Background: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) represents a significant clinical concern, particularly in aging populations, and recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have catalyzed substantial research interest in this domain. Despite the growing body of literature, there remains a need for a comprehensive, quantitative analysis to delineate key trends and emerging areas in the field of AI applications in AMD. This bibliometric analysis sought to systematically evaluate the landscape of AI-focused research on AMD to illuminate publication patterns, influential contributors, and focal research trends. Methods: Using the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC), a search was conducted to retrieve relevant publications from 1992 to 2023. This analysis involved an array of bibliometric indicators to map the evolution of AI research in AMD, assessing parameters such as publication volume, national/regional and institutional contributions, journal impact, author influence, and emerging research hotspots. Visualization tools, including Bibliometrix, CiteSpace and VOSviewer, were employed to generate comprehensive assessments of the data. Results: A total of 1,721 publications were identified, with the USA leading in publication output and the University of Melbourne as the most prolific institution. The journal Conclusions: This bibliometric analysis provides a structured overview of prevailing research trends and emerging directions in AI applications for AMD. These findings furnish valuable insights to guide future research and foster collaborative advancements in this evolving field.
