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.

Abstract

backgroundThere are limited data on the performance of narrow band imaging (NBI) and Fujinon intelligent color enhancement (FICE) for differentiating polyp histologies.

aimsThe aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic performances of NBI and FICE in differentiating neoplastic from non-neoplastic colorectal polyps <10 mm during screening colonoscopy.

methodsA total of 955 average-risk adults undergoing screening colonoscopies were randomly allocated to NBI or FICE groups. Four board-certified staff endoscopists without prior experience using NBI or FICE participated. The main outcomes of this study were overall accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of FICE and NBI in identifying neoplastic polyps.

resultsThere was no significant difference in the number of subjects with adenoma between the NBI (143/475, 30.1 %) and FICE groups (139/480, 29.0 %) (after excluding adenoma ≥1 cm) (P > 0.05). The overall accuracy of NBI was 81.0 %, compared with 81.4 % for FICE (P = 0.867). The overall sensitivity and specificity of NBI and FICE were 84.6 and 78.0 % (P = 0.054); 75.1 and 86.5 % (P = 0.009), respectively. For polyps measuring ≤5 mm, the accuracy was 79.4 % for NBI and 80.1 % for FICE (P = 0.835; sensitivity 81.9 vs. 74.5 %, P = 0.064; specificity 75.7 vs. 88.4 %, P = 0.006).

conclusionsThe overall accuracy of NBI and FICE was similar for differentiating small polyp histologies during screening colonoscopy. However, better results should be achieved before using NBI or FICE as real-time optical biopsy of colorectal polyps in screening colonoscopy.
