Glaucoma detection in myopic eyes using deep learning autoencoder-based regions of interest.
Article in Frontiers in ophthalmology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a deep learning autoencoder-based model utilizing regions of interest (ROI) from optical coherence tomography (OCT) texture enface images for detecting glaucoma in myopic eyes. Methods: This cross-sectional study included a total of 453 eyes from 315 participants from the multi-center "Swept-Source OCT (SS-OCT) Myopia and Glaucoma Study", composed of 268 eyes from 168 healthy individuals and 185 eyes from 147 glaucomatous individuals. All participants underwent swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) imaging, from which texture enface images were constructed and analyzed. The study compared four methods: (1) global RNFL thickness, (2) texture enface image, (3) a single autoencoder model trained only on healthy eyes, and (4) a dual autoencoder model trained on both healthy and glaucomatous eyes. Diagnostic accuracy was assessed using the area under the receiver operating curves (AUROC) and precision recall curves (AUPRC). Results: The dual autoencoder model achieved the highest AUROC (95% CI) (0.92 [0.88, 0.95]), significantly outperforming the single autoencoder model trained only on healthy eyes (0.86 [0.83, 0.88], p = 0.01), the global RNFL thickness model (0.84 [0.80, 0.86], p = 0.003), and the texture enface model (0.83 [0.79, 0.85], p = 0.005). Using AUPRC (95% CI), the dual autoencoder model (0.86 [0.83, 0.89]) also outperformed the single autoencoder model trained only on healthy eyes (0.80 [0.78, 0.82], p = 0.02), the global RNFL thickness model (0.74 [0.70, 0.76], p = 0.001), and the texture enface model (0.71 [0.68, 0.73], p<0.001). No significant difference was observed between the global RNFL thickness measurement and the texture enface measurement (p = 0.47). Discussion: The dual autoencoder model, which integrates reconstruction errors from both healthy and glaucomatous training data, demonstrated superior diagnostic accuracy compared to the single autoencoder model, global RNFL thickness and texture enface-based approaches. These findings suggest that deep learning models leveraging ROI-based reconstruction error from texture enface images may enhance glaucoma classification in myopic eyes, providing a robust alternative to conventional structural thickness metrics.
