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.

Abstract

Purpose: To compare accuracy of the comprehensive vision processing (VP) algorithm (Lanczos2 [L2]) with the novel VP algorithms, face detection (FaD) and available chair detection (ChD) methods in recipients of the second-generation suprachoroidal retinal prosthesis. Methods: Four suprachoroidal retinal prosthesis recipients (#NCT05158049) were acclimatized to new VP methods (FaD and ChD) with L2 used as control. For face localization, one or two mannequins (white/black) were forward or backward facing in three positions in a room with a white backdrop. Participants were asked to detect the number of mannequins and faces present and point to the forward-facing mannequin. For available chair localization, two mannequins (white/black) were seated in two of three chairs (white/black). Participants were asked to detect and navigate to the available chair. Results: FaD performed significantly better than L2 for correct face detection (FaD) (81.25 ± 10.21%; L2 32.81 ± 5.98%; P = 0.029) and for face localization (FaD, 81.25 ± 10.21%; L2, 26.56 ± 10.67%; P = 0.029). The accuracy of mannequin detection was equivalent between FaD (47.22 ± 5.56%) and L2 (52.78 ± 13.98%) with one mannequin (P = 0.457), and with two mannequins present (FaD, 21.43 ± 18.44%; L2. 3.57 ± 7.14%; P = 0.257). The ChD VP method (88.89 ± 12.00% correct) performed significantly better than L2 (19.44 ± 13.22%) for localizing available chairs (P = 0.029). Conclusions: FaD and ChD VP methods performed better than L2 for the purpose of localizing faces and available chairs, respectively. Translational Relevance: New VP algorithms can improve the localization of specific object types while using the second-generation suprachoroidal retinal prosthesis.
