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) is transforming healthcare, notably in ophthalmology, where its ability to interpret images and data can significantly enhance disease diagnosis and patient care. Recent developments in oculomics, the integration of ophthalmic features to develop biomarkers for systemic diseases, have demonstrated the potential for providing rapid, non-invasive methods of screening leading to enhance in early detection and improve healthcare quality, particularly in underserved areas. However, the widespread adoption of such AI-based technologies faces challenges primarily related to the trustworthiness of the system. We demonstrate the potential and considerations needed to develop trustworthy AI in oculomics through a pilot study for HbA1c assessment using an AI-based approach. We then discuss various challenges, considerations, and solutions that have been developed for powerful AI technologies in the past in healthcare and subsequently apply these considerations to the oculomics pilot study. Building upon the observations in the study we highlight the challenges and opportunities for advancing trustworthy AI in oculomics. Ultimately, oculomics presents as a powerful and emerging technology in ophthalmology and understanding how to optimize transparency prior to clinical adoption is of utmost importance.
