Interobserver agreement for the detection of Barrett's esophagus with optical frequency domain imaging.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
backgroundOptical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) is a second-generation form of optical coherence tomography (OCT) providing comprehensive cross-sectional views of the distal esophagus at a resolution of ~7 μm.
aimUsing validated OCT criteria for squamous mucosa, gastric cardia mucosa, and Barrett's esophagus (BE), the objective of this study was to determine the inter- and intra-observer agreements by a large number of OFDI readers for differentiating these tissues.
methodsOFDI images were obtained from nine subjects undergoing screening and surveillance for BE. Sixty-four OFDI image regions of interest were randomly selected for review. A training set of 19 images was compiled distinguishing squamous mucosa from gastric cardia and BE using previously validated OCT criteria. The ten readers then interpreted images in a test set of 45 different images of squamous mucosa (n = 15), gastric cardia (n = 15), or BE (n = 15). Interobserver agreement differentiating the three tissue types and BE versus non-BE mucosa was determined using multi-rater Fleiss's κ value. The images were later randomized again and four readers repeated the test 3 weeks later to assess intraobserver reliability.
resultsAll ten readers showed excellent agreement for the differentiation of BE versus non-BE mucosa (κ = 0.811 p < 0.0001) and for differentiating BE versus gastric cardia versus squamous mucosa (κ = 0.866, p < 0.0001). For the four readers who repeated the test, the median intraobserver agreement (BE vs. non-BE) was high (κ = 0.975, IQR: 0.94, 1.0).
conclusionsTrained readers have a high interobserver agreement for differentiating BE, squamous, and gastric cardia mucosa using OFDI.
