Ability of blue laser imaging with magnifying endoscopy for the diagnosis of gastric intestinal metaplasia.
Article in Lasers in medical science, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
We aimed to determine the utility of blue laser imaging (BLI) with magnifying endoscopy (BLI-ME) for the prediction and diagnosis of gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM). Participants, aged between 40 and 75 years, undergoing gastroscopy from January to April 2017 were included in this study. The ability of BLI-ME and white light endoscopy (WLE) to detect GIM was assessed by comparing the endoscopic findings with the histological findings. The correlation between the grades of light blue crest (LBC) appearance and histology grade of GIM was calculated. We included 100 participants in this study. GIM was diagnosed in 27 participants; 20 participants were detected by both BLI and WLE, four by BLI only, and three exclusively by random biopsies. The values of sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive values, and negative predictive values for detecting GIM were 34.9, 38.9, 25.4, and 57.1%, respectively, for WLE and 88.9, 96.7, 94.1, and 93.3%, respectively, for BLI-ME. The diagnostic accuracy for GIM was 43% for WLE and 94.0% for BLI-ME. A good correlation between the grades of LBC and the grades of GIM on histology was observed (P < 0.01). BLI-ME achieved a good diagnostic efficiency for detection of GIM. LBC seen on BLI-ME is a typical indicator of GIM.
