Increased Barrett's esophagus for the decade between 1991 and 2000 at a single university medical center.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Barrett's esophagus is being diagnosed increasingly in the United States. The aim of this study was to determine whether the increased diagnosis of Barrett's esophagus is due to endoscopic reporting and/or a truly increasing rate. This retrospective study reviewed 18,183 endoscopy reports at Temple University Hospital from January 1991 through December 2000. Annual rates of new cases of endoscopically suspected Barrett's esophagus were determined. Biopsy results were reviewed for the diagnosis of Barrett's esophagus (i.e., specialized intestinal metaplasia). Rates of Barrett's esophagus increased from 3.22 to 8.28 per 100 endoscopies (257%; P < 0.01) on endoscopy and from 0.67 to 2.76 per 100 endoscopies (412%; P < 0.01) on histology from 1991 to 2000. Twenty-four and seven-tenths percent (252/1020) of patients suspected at endoscopy to have Barrett's esophagus were confirmed by histology. This study demonstrates an increasing rate of new cases of suspected Barrett's esophagus on endoscopy and confirmed Barrett's esophagus on histology over the last decade. The endoscopic impression of Barrett's esophagus was about four times higher than the confirmed diagnosis of Barrett's esophagus (intestinal metaplasia) on histology.
