Semantic web ontology for structured knowledge representation and clinical decision support in eye diseases.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Vision is a vital sense that allows people to interact with their surroundings and carry out tasks efficiently while maintaining safety and independence. At least 2.2 billion people globally suffer from blindness or vision impairment, of which more than 1 billion cases are avoidable or untreated because they lack access to eye care services. In ophthalmology, there are numerous challenges in knowledge organization and management, mainly due to the complexity of eye diseases. Ontologies are used as excellent tools for organizing and managing complicated information due to their structured representations of domain knowledge and to make data more findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable. We have developed an ontology, that is, Eye Disease Ontology (EDO), for the most common eye diseases as a resource that helps in data extraction and analysis for the general public and medical professionals. EDO is a comprehensive and systematic knowledge representation system that categorizes and organizes information about commonly occurring eye diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, etc, and connects it to vital details such as symptoms, causes, risk factors, diagnostic tests, and treatment options. The significant metrics of EDO include 566 classes, 16 object properties, 12 data properties, and 119 instances. In this study, the ontology of eye diseases has the potential to improve clinical diagnosis, advance research, and enrich medical education, while improving patient care. This ontology was created using the NeOn technique in the Protégé/OWL environment. Several competency questions were created to meet the demands of various stakeholders, and the ontology was validated using SPARQL queries, the Hermit Reasoner, and the OOPS Pitfalls Scanner. In addition, we develop comprehensive documentation for EDO to promote reuse and emphasise the importance of reuse in future applications.
