Mucosal vascular pattern in ulcerative colitis: observations using narrow band imaging colonoscopy with special reference to histologic inflammation.
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 36 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimNarrow band imaging (NBI) is a novel endoscopy system, which enables a clear visualization of the mucosal vasculature of the gastrointestinal tract. The aim of this study is to determine whether this system may be of value for assessing the disease severity in ulcerative colitis (UC). MATERIALS AND
methodsWe observed the mucosal vascular pattern (MVP) in 157 colorectal segments of 30 patients with UC using both conventional and NBI colonoscopy. The MVP was determined to be normal or distorted under conventional colonoscopy and, subsequently, to be clear or obscure under NBI colonoscopy. The histologic variables in each segment were assessed in biopsy specimen. The possible correlation between MVP and the histologic grade of inflammation was evaluated.
resultsThe MVP under conventional colonoscopy was normal in 60 segments while it was distorted in 97 segments. In all of the former 60 segments, their MVP was clear under NBI colonoscopy. The MVP in the latter 97 segments were determined to be clear (n = 44) or obscure (n = 53) under NBI colonoscopy. Acute inflammatory cell infiltrates (26% vs. 0%, p = 0.0001), goblet cell depletion (32% vs. 5%, p = 0.0006), and basal plasmacytosis (2% vs. 21%, p = 0.006) were more frequently observed in segments with an obscure MVP than in those with a clear MVP.
conclusionNBI colonoscopy may be of value for determining the grade of inflammation in patients with quiescent UC.
