1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundStrabismus measurement is essential in vision assessment and screening. It typically requires skilled clinicians or specialized equipment. Photographic strabismus measurement methods have value in terms of accessibility and convenience of use.

objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate Eyeturn Cloud, a cloud-based artificial intelligence (AI) system for measuring strabismus angles based on eye images captured with smartphone cameras under cover test conditions.

methodsThe Eyeturn Cloud web app uses AI models to recognize eyes, eye lid, and iris, and then to segment iris precisely. It then computes strabismus based on ellipse fitting of the iris boundary and corneal reflection. The system was evaluated in patients (without glasses) with manifest strabismus and control participants. Clinicians measured eye deviations using the prism alternate cover test and also captured pictures of their eyes under alternate cover and unilateral cover conditions. The pictures were processed by Eyeturn Cloud.

resultsIn total, 79 (mean age 11.9, SD 6.3 years; esotropia: n=15, exotropia: n=55, orthotropia: n=9) participants were enrolled; of which, data were available for 71 participants (8/79, 10.1% processing failure). The range of prism alternate cover test strabismus magnitude was from 78 base in to 78 base out prism diopters (PDs). A strong correlation was found between Eyeturn Cloud and clinical measurements (R

conclusionsThe cloud AI web app can compute strabismus angles reliably under alternate and unilateral cover conditions in clinical settings, and its potential for use in telehealth settings needs further evaluation.
