Practical Applications of Artificial Intelligence Diagnostic Systems in Fundus Retinal Disease Screening.
Article in International journal of general medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the performance of a deep learning-based artificial intelligence (AI) diagnostic system in the analysis of retinal diseases, assessing its consistency with expert diagnoses and its overall utility in screening applications. Methods: A total of 3076 patients attending our hospital underwent comprehensive ophthalmic examinations. Initial assessments were performed using the AI, the Comprehensive AI Retinal Expert (CARE) system, followed by thorough manual reviews to establish final diagnoses. A comparative analysis was conducted between the AI-generated results and the evaluations by senior ophthalmologists to assess the diagnostic reliability and feasibility of the AI system in the context of ophthalmic screening. Results: : The AI diagnostic system demonstrated a sensitivity of 94.12% and specificity of 98.60% for diabetic retinopathy (DR); 89.50% sensitivity and 98.33% specificity for age-related macular degeneration (AMD); 91.55% sensitivity and 97.40% specificity for suspected glaucoma; 90.77% sensitivity and 99.10% specificity for pathological myopia; 81.58% sensitivity and 99.49% specificity for retinal vein occlusion (RVO); 88.64% sensitivity and 99.18% specificity for retinal detachment; 83.33% sensitivity and 99.80% specificity for macular hole; 82.26% sensitivity and 99.23% specificity for epiretinal membrane; 94.55% sensitivity and 97.82% specificity for hypertensive retinopathy; 83.33% sensitivity and 99.74% specificity for myelinated fibers; and 75.00% sensitivity and 99.95% specificity for retinitis pigmentosa. Additionally, the system exhibited notable performance in screening for other prevalent conditions, including DR, suspected glaucoma, suspected glaucoma, pathological myopia, and hypertensive retinopathy. Conclusions: : The AI-assisted screening system exhibits high sensitivity and specificity for a majority of retinal diseases, suggesting its potential as a valuable tool for screening practices. Its implementation is particularly beneficial for grassroots and community healthcare settings, facilitating initial diagnostic efforts and enhancing the efficacy of tiered ophthalmic care, with important implications for broader clinical adoption.
