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

Glaucoma is characterised by progressive vision loss due to retinal ganglion cell deterioration, leading to gradual visual field (VF) impairment. The standard VF test may be impractical in some cases, where optical coherence tomography (OCT) can offer predictive insights into VF for multimodal diagnoses. However, predicting VF measures from OCT data remains challenging. To address this, five regression models were developed to predict VF measures from OCT, Shapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) analysis was performed for interpretability, and a clinical software tool called OCT to VF Predictor was developed. To evaluate the models, a total of 268 glaucomatous eyes (86 early, 72 moderate, 110 advanced) and 226 normal eyes were included. The machine learning models outperformed recent OCT-based VF prediction deep learning studies, with correlation coefficients of 0.76, 0.80 and 0.76 for mean deviation, visual field index and pattern standard deviation, respectively. Introducing the pointwise normalisation and step-size concept, a mean absolute error of 2.51 dB was obtained in pointwise sensitivity prediction, and the grayscale prediction model yielded a mean structural similarity index of 77%. The SHAP-based analysis provided critical insights into the most relevant features for glaucoma diagnosis, showing promise in assisting eye care practitioners through an explainable AI tool.
