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

Introduction: Pathological myopia (PM) is a serious visual impairment that may lead to irreversible visual damage or even blindness. Timely diagnosis and effective management of PM are of great significance. Given the increasing number of myopia cases worldwide, there is an urgent need to develop an automated, accurate, and highly interpretable PM diagnostic technology. Methods: We proposed a computational model called PMPred-AE based on EfficientNetV2-L with attention mechanism optimization. In addition, Gradient-weighted class activation mapping (Grad-CAM) technology was used to provide an intuitive and visual interpretation for the model's decision-making process. Results: The experimental results demonstrated that PMPred-AE achieved excellent performance in automatically detecting PM, with accuracies of 98.50, 98.25, and 97.25% in the training, validation, and test datasets, respectively. In addition, PMPred-AE can focus on specific areas of PM image when making detection decisions. Discussion: The developed PMPred-AE model is capable of reliably providing accurate PM detection. In addition, the Grad-CAM technology was also used to provide an intuitive and visual interpretation for the decision-making process of the model. This approach provides healthcare professionals with an effective tool for interpretable AI decision-making process.
