African Americans with Barrett's esophagus are less likely to have dysplasia at biopsy.

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
backgroundBarrett's Esophagus (BE) is a pre-malignant condition. Limited data on BE dysplasia prevalence exists among United States ethnic groups.
aimThe purpose of this study was to determine if the frequency of BE with dysplasia varies among the major ethnic groups presenting to our institution.
methodsThe University of Florida-Jacksonville endoscopy database was searched for all cases of endoscopic BE from September 2002 to August 2007. Histologic BE was diagnosed if salmon colored esophageal mucosa was endoscopically seen at least 1 cm above the top of the gastric folds and biopsy revealed intestinal metaplasia with Alcian blue-containing goblet cells. Demographic data collected for all included: age at diagnosis, ethnicity, sex, previous history of esophageal reflux, atypical manifestations (chronic cough, aspiration), endoscopic length of BE, presence or absence of hiatal hernia, esophageal stricture or ulcer, and presence or absence of dysplasia.
resultsSalmon colored esophageal mucosa was observed in 405 of 7,308 patients (5.5%) and histologically confirmed in 115 of 405 patients (28%) reflecting an overall prevalence of BE of 115/7308 (1.6%) in this cohort. Ethnic distribution of histologic BE patients was as follows: 95 (83%) non-Hispanic white (nHw), 16 (14%) African American (AA) and 4 (3%) other. Long segment BE (LSBE) and any form of dysplasia was observed less frequently in AA than nHw (LSBE: 12% vs. 26% and dysplasia: 0% vs. 7%).
conclusionsLSBE and dysplasia are less frequent in AA than nHw. Studies in AA with BE may illustrate factors limiting dysplasia and LSBE risk.
