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

Visual impairment and eye disease remain a significant burden, highlighting the need for further support regarding eye care services. Artificial intelligence (AI) and its rapid advancements are providing an avenue for transforming healthcare. As a result, this provides a potential avenue to address the growing challenges with eye health and could assist in settings such as eye casualty departments. This review aims to evaluate current studies on AI implementation in eye casualty triage to understand the potential application for the future. A systematic review was conducted across a range of sources and databases producing 77 records initially identified, with four studies included in the final analysis. The findings demonstrated that AI tools are able to produce consistent and accurate triaging of patients and provide improvement in work efficiency without compromising safety. However, we note limitations of the studies including limited external validations of results and general applicability at present. Additionally, all the studies highlight the need for further studies and testing to allow for better understanding and validation of AI tools in eye casualty triaging.
