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

Artificial intelligence (AI), also known as machine intelligence, is a branch of science that empowers machines using human intelligence. AI refers to the technology of rendering human intelligence through computer programs. From healthcare to the precise prevention, diagnosis, and management of diseases, AI is progressing rapidly in various interdisciplinary fields, including ophthalmology. Ophthalmology is at the forefront of AI in medicine because the diagnosis of ocular diseases heavy reliance on imaging. Recently, deep learning-based AI screening and prediction models have been applied to the most common visual impairment and blindness diseases, including glaucoma, cataract, age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), and diabetic retinopathy (DR). The success of AI in medicine is primarily attributed to the development of deep learning algorithms, which are computational models composed of multiple layers of simulated neurons. These models can learn the representations of data at multiple levels of abstraction. The Inception-v3 algorithm and transfer learning concept have been applied in DR and ARMD to reuse fundus image features learned from natural images (non-medical images) to train an AI system with a fraction of the commonly used training data (<1%). The trained AI system achieved performance comparable to that of human experts in classifying ARMD and diabetic macular edema on optical coherence tomography images. In this study, we highlight the fundamental concepts of AI and its application in these four major ocular diseases and further discuss the current challenges, as well as the prospects in ophthalmology.
