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

Aim: Generative adversarial networks (GANs) were employed to predict the morphology of OBL before femtosecond laser scanning during SMILE. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional analysis was conducted on 4,442 eyes from 2,265 patients who underwent SMILE surgery at the Ophthalmic Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University between June 2021 and August 2022. Surgical videos, preoperative panoramic corneal images, and intraoperative OBL images were collected. The dataset was randomly split into a training set of 3,998 images and a test set of 444 images for model development and evaluation, respectively. Structural similarity index (SSIM) and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) were used to quantitatively assess OBL image quality. The accuracy of intraoperative OBL image predictions was also compared across different models. Results: Seven GAN models were developed. Among them, the model incorporating a residual structure and Transformer module within the Pix2pix framework exhibited the best predictive performance. This model's intraoperative OBL morphology prediction demonstrated high consistency with actual images (SSIM = 0.67, PSNR = 26.02). The prediction accuracy of Trans-Pix2Pix (SSIM = 0.66, PSNR = 25.76), Res-Pix2Pix (SSIM = 0.65, PSNR = 23.08), and Pix2Pix (SSIM = 0.64, PSNR = 22.97), Pix2PixHD (SSIM = 0.63, PSNR = 23.46), DCGAN (SSIM = 0.58, PSNR = 20.46) was slightly lower, while the CycleGAN model (SSIM = 0.51, PSNR = 18.30) showed the least favorable results. Conclusion: The GAN model developed for predicting intraoperative OBL morphology based on preoperative panoramic corneal images demonstrates effective predictive capabilities and offers valuable insights for ophthalmologists in surgical planning.
