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: Quantitative assessment of inflammation is critical for the accurate diagnosis and effective management of uveitis. This study aims to introduce a novel three-dimensional vision transformer approach using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) to quantify anterior chamber (AC) inflammation in uveitis patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2022 to December 2023 at a single tertiary eye center in Singapore, analyzing 830 AS-OCT B-scans from 180 participants, including uveitis patients at various stages of inflammation and healthy controls. The primary outcomes measured were central corneal thickness (CCT), Iris Vascularity Index (IVI), and Anterior Chamber Particle Index (ACPI). These parameters were assessed using the Swin Transformer V2 artificial intelligence algorithm on AS-OCT images. Results: The study included 180 participants, including uveitis patients and healthy controls. We observed significant differences between these groups in CCT (P = 0.01), ACPI (P < 0.001), and IVI (P < 0.001). Affected eyes showed elevated CCT and ACPI, along with a significant decrease in IVI, especially in severe inflammation cases. Linear regression analysis underscored a robust correlation between these biometric parameters and inflammation severity in the AC (R = 0.481, P < 0.001). A 6-month longitudinal study further validated the stability and repeatability of these measurements, affirming their reliability over time. Conclusions: This study introduces a novel, objective method to quantify ocular inflammation using ACPI, IVI, and CCT, which enhances the precision of assessments over traditional subjective methods prone to interobserver variability. Demonstrated through significant biomarker stability over a 6-month period, our findings support the use of these metrics for reliable long-term monitoring of inflammation progression and treatment efficacy in clinical practice. Translational Relevance: Our artificial intelligence algorithm objectively quantifies AC inflammation reliably over the time and could be used in the clinic as well as in clinical trials as an objective biomarker.
