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

To improve the understanding of potential pathological mechanisms of macular edema (ME), we try to discover biomarker candidates related to ME caused by diabetic retinopathy (DR) and retinal vein occlusion (RVO) in spectral-domain optical coherence tomography images by means of deep learning (DL). 32 eyes of 26 subjects with non-proliferative DR (NPDR), 77 eyes of 61 subjects with proliferative DR (PDR), 120 eyes of 116 subjects with branch RVO (BRVO), and 17 eyes of 15 subjects with central RVO (CRVO) were collected. A DL model was implemented to guide biomarker candidate discovery. The disorganization of the retinal outer layers (DROL), i.e., the gray value of the retinal tissues between the external limiting membrane (ELM) and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), the disrupted and obscured rate of the ELM, ellipsoid zone (EZ), and RPE, was measured. In addition, the occurrence, number, volume, and projected area of hyperreflective foci (HRF) were recorded. ELM, EZ, and RPE are more likely to be obscured in RVO group and HRFs are observed more frequently in DR group (all P ≤ 0.001). In conclusion, the features of DROL and HRF can be possible biomarkers related to ME caused by DR and RVO in OCT modality.
