Lesion detection in age-related macular degeneration with a multi-modal imaging and machine learning approach.
Article in Biomedical engineering online, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAge-related macular degeneration is a leading cause of central vision loss, and assessing visual function with microperimetry can be time-consuming and tiring for patients. Targeting regions corresponding to worsening acute-stage retinal lesions may reduce test durations and patient fatigue.
resultsWe developed a machine-learning approach using multi-modal imaging data to differentiate lesional regions from healthy retinal areas. Our dataset included 344,003 regions extracted from color fundus photographs, infrared fundus images, optical coherence tomography, and optical coherence tomography angiography images. A gradient-boosted tree-ensemble model was trained on this data and achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.95 in detecting end-stage lesions in chronic age-related macular degeneration.
conclusionsThe proposed method effectively detects lesions associated with age-related macular degeneration using multi-modal imaging and machine learning. This approach offers a potential solution for creating targeted microperimetry test patterns, which can reduce testing time and patient fatigue, thereby enhancing the clinical assessment of visual function in affected patients.
