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

Retinal vasculature is the only vascular system in the human body that can be observed in a non-invasive manner, with a phenotype associated with a wide range of ocular, cerebral, and cardiovascular diseases. OCT and OCT angiography (OCTA) provide powerful imaging methods to visualize the three-dimensional morphological and functional information of the retina. In this study, based on OCT and OCTA multimodal inputs, a multitask convolutional neural network model was built to realize 3D segmentation of retinal blood vessels and disease classification for different retinal diseases, overcoming the limitations of existing methods that can only perform 2D analysis of OCTA. Two hundred thirty sets of OCT and OCTA data from 109 patients, including 138,000 cross-sectional images in normal and diseased eyes (age-related macular degeneration, retinal vein occlusion, and central serous chorioretinopathy), were collected from four commercial OCT systems for model training, validation, and testing. Experimental results verified that the proposed method was able to achieve a DICE coefficient of 0.956 for 3D segmentation of blood vessels and an accuracy of 91.49% for disease classification, and further enabled us to evaluate the 3D reconstruction of retinal vessels, explore the interlayer connections of superficial and deep vasculatures, and reveal the 3D quantitative vessel characteristics in different retinal diseases.
