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: This study aimed to develop a deep learning-based model for measuring biometric parameters from anterior segment ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) images, assisting clinicians in the early screening and diagnosis of primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG). Methods: Through comparative selection, the best-performing model was used to segment four regions in UBM images of PACG patients: cornea and sclera, iris, ciliary body, and lens anterior surface. Using YOLOv11s, the model performed localization of four key points on both pre- and post-segmentation datasets and automatically measured seven biometric parameters related to the angle closure mechanism. Results: The DeepLabv3+ model performed excellently in the segmentation tasks, with an mean intersection over union (mIoU) of 85.84%, precision of 92.67%, recall of 91.36%, and Dice coefficient of 92.01%, all representing optimal values. In the object detection task, the segmented dataset achieved a precision of 88.3%, recall of 89.9%, and mean average precision at 0.50 IoU (mAP50) of 92.9%, showing at least a 19% improvement over the original image dataset. The average absolute error of the Euclidean distance for four-point localization was 50.41µm, with a root mean square error of 77.85 µm. In biometric parameter measurements, except for the iris-lens angle, all other parameters exhibited intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) values greater than 0.94. Conclusions: This study showed that the proposed deep learning-based method for automatic measurement of closure mechanism-related biometric parameters is accurate and effective. Translational Relevance: This is the first study, to our knowledge, to integrate multi-region segmentation and four-point localization for the automatic computation of seven anterior segment parameters directly from UBM images, providing precise and reliable data support for early PACG diagnosis and pathogenesis research.
