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

backgroundThere are no clear clinical criteria for the management of gastric lesions diagnosed as adenomas (Vienna classification category 3) by pre-treatment biopsy. In the present study, we examined the feasibility of magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (ME-NBI) in discriminating early gastric cancers (Vienna classification category 4 or 5) from adenomas in lesions diagnosed as adenomas by pre-treatment biopsy.

methodsThis was a single-center cross-sectional retrospective study at a tertiary referral center. One hundred thirty-seven consecutive cases of gastric lesions diagnosed as adenomas in pre-treatment forceps biopsy were examined with conventional non-magnifying endoscopy under white light, non-magnifying chromoendoscopy, and ME-NBI. We investigated the association between the final pathological diagnoses (carcinoma or adenoma) and the following factors: lesion size (mm), color (red or white), macroscopic type (depressed or others), presence of ulceration, and positive ME-NBI finding. The presence of an irregular microvascular pattern or an irregular microsurface pattern with a demarcation line between the lesion and the surrounding area was regarded as a positive ME-NBI finding.

resultsLesion size was significantly larger in carcinomas than adenomas (P = 0.005). Depressed lesion (P = 0.011), red color (P < 0.001), and positive ME-NBI finding (P < 0.001) were significant predictive factors for carcinoma. Multivariate logistic regression confirmed that red color (odds ratio [OR] 3.04, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.26-7.34, P = 0.14) and a positive ME-NBI finding (OR 13.68, 95% CI 5.69-32.88, P < 0.001) were independent predictive factors for carcinomas. A positive ME-NBI finding was the strongest predictive factor.

conclusionsME-NBI is useful in planning the management of lesions diagnosed as adenomas by pre-treatment forceps biopsy.
