A feasibility study of the use of computed virtual chromoendoscopy for laparoscopic evaluation of peritoneal metastases.

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
backgroundDetection of an incipient peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is still challenging, and there is a crucial need for technological improvements in order to diagnose and to treat early this condition. Fujinon Intelligent Chromo Endoscopy (FICE) is a spectral image processing technology that enhances the contrast of the target tissue. The aim of this study is to investigate the usefulness of FICE system during peritoneal endoscopy and to establish the optimal FICE preset(s) for peritoneal exploration and PC detection.
methodsA total of 561 images corresponding to 51 different areas of PC nodules and normal peritoneum were recorded during peritoneal endoscopies (For each area, one white light endoscopy (WLE) image and 10 FICE images). Three groups of 5 evaluators each: senior surgeons, surgical residents and medical students assessed these images. In a first questionnaire, the evaluators gave a score ranging from 1 to 10 to each image, and the three best FICE channels were determined. In a second questionnaire, five criteria were studied specifically: contrast, brightness, vascular architecture, differentiation between organs and detection of PC. The evaluators ranked the WLE and the three best FICE channel images according to these criteria.
resultsThe three best FICE channels were channels 6, 2 and 9 with mean scores of 6.21 ± 1.59, 6.17 ± 1.48 and 6.06 ± 1.52, respectively. FICE Channel 2 was superior to WLE and other FICE channels, in terms of contrast (p < 10
conclusionFICE system provides adequate illumination of the abdominal cavity and a unique contrast that enhances the vascular architecture. FICE Channel 2 is the optimal channel for peritoneal exploration and could be a useful tool for the diagnosis of PC during peritoneal explorations.
