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

The 5-year survival rate for patients with oral cancer remains low, in part because diagnosis often occurs at a late stage. Early and accurate identification of oral high-grade dysplasia and cancer can help improve patient outcomes. Multimodal optical imaging is an adjunctive diagnostic technique in which autofluorescence imaging is used to identify high-risk regions within the oral cavity, followed by high-resolution microendoscopy to confirm or rule out the presence of neoplasia. Multimodal optical images were obtained from 206 sites in 100 patients. Histologic diagnosis, either from a punch biopsy or an excised surgical specimen, was used as the gold standard for all sites. Histopathologic diagnoses of moderate dysplasia or worse were considered neoplastic. Images from 92 sites in the first 30 patients were used as a training set to develop automated image analysis methods for identification of neoplasia. Diagnostic performance was evaluated prospectively using images from 114 sites in the remaining 70 patients as a test set. In the training set, multimodal optical imaging with automated image analysis correctly classified 95% of nonneoplastic sites and 94% of neoplastic sites. Among the 56 sites in the test set that were biopsied, multimodal optical imaging correctly classified 100% of nonneoplastic sites and 85% of neoplastic sites. Among the 58 sites in the test set that corresponded to a surgical specimen, multimodal imaging correctly classified 100% of nonneoplastic sites and 61% of neoplastic sites. These findings support the potential of multimodal optical imaging to aid in the early detection of oral cancer.
