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

Objective: To investigate the feasibility and accuracy of artificial intelligence (AI) methods of facial deidentification in hospital-recorded epileptic seizure videos, for improved patient privacy protection while preserving clinically important features of seizure semiology. Patients and Methods: Videos of epileptic seizures displaying seizure-related involuntary facial changes were selected from recordings at Taipei Veterans General Hospital Epilepsy Unit (between August 1, 2020 and February 28, 2023), and a single representative video frame was prepared per seizure. We tested 3 AI transformation models: (1) morphing the original facial image with a different male face; (2) substitution with a female face; and (3) cartoonization. Facial deidentification and preservation of clinically relevant facial detail were calculated based on: (1) scoring by 5 independent expert clinicians and (2) objective computation. Results: According to the clinician scoring of 26 facial frames in 16 patients, the best compromise between deidentification and preservation of facial semiology was the cartoonization model. A male facial morphing model was superior to the cartoonization model for deidentification, but clinical detail was sacrificed. Objective similarity testing of video data reported deidentification scores in agreement with the clinicians' scores; however, preservation of semiology gave mixed results likely due to inadequate existing comparative databases. Conclusion: Artificial intelligence-based face transformation of medical seizure videos is feasible and may be useful for patient privacy protection. In our study, the cartoonization approach provided the best compromise between deidentification and preservation of seizure semiology.
