Review in Current opinion in gastroenterology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

purpose of reviewProvide an evidence-based resource for the surveillance of gastrointestinal premalignant lesions, focusing on the scientific articles reported recently. RECENT

findingsNo randomized controlled clinical trials exist to definitively support the efficacy of surveillance programs for Barrett's esophagus and gastric intestinal metaplasia. However, surveillance of these premalignant lesions is recommended by some of the leading organizations. To optimize the usefulness of surveillance programs, targeting high-risk patients might maximize its benefits. A Barrett's esophagus segment of at least 3 cm and evidence of intestinal metaplasia can help stratify those patients at highest risk for progression to esophageal adenocarcinoma. The location, extent, and severity of intestinal metaplasia are indicators of risk of developing gastric cancer. Patients with extensive intestinal metaplasia should be offered endoscopic surveillance. Quality in the baseline colonoscopy is crucial to decrease the risk of interval colorectal cancers. The importance of serrated polyps, as well as their surveillance intervals, is emphasized. SUMMARY: To optimize the usefulness of surveillance programs, targeting high-risk patients might maximize its benefits. Future research is needed to design more effective surveillance strategies. Recently, emerging imaging techniques hold promise for improving sensitivity of endoscopic surveillance of premalignant conditions in the gastrointestinal tract.
