Artificial intelligence in proliferative diabetic retinopathy: advancing diagnosis, precision surgery, and anti-VEGF therapy optimization.
Review in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) represents the most advanced and vision-threatening stage of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and remains a leading cause of blindness in individuals with diabetes. This review presents a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the application of artificial intelligence (AI) for the diagnosis and treatment of PDR, emphasizing its clinical potential and associated challenges. The role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the pathogenesis of PDR has become increasingly clear, and AI offers novel capabilities in retinal image analysis, disease progression prediction, and treatment decision-making. These advancements have notably improved diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. Furthermore, AI-based models show promise in optimizing anti-VEGF therapy by enhancing therapeutic outcomes while reducing unnecessary healthcare expenditures. Future research should focus on the safe, effective, and ethical integration of AI into clinical workflows. Overcoming practical deployment barriers will require interdisciplinary collaboration among technology developers, clinicians, and regulatory bodies. The strategies and frameworks discussed in this review are expected to provide a foundation for future AI research and clinical translation in fields of PDR.
