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

purposeDiagnosis of the depth of invasion is crucial in the endoscopic management of early colorectal cancer. Image-enhanced endoscopy (IEE) is a method for easily evaluating the depth of invasion. Linked colour imaging (LCI) is an IEE method that enables clearer identification of neoplastic lesions and mucosal inflammation. The aim of this experimental study was to explore the efficacy of LCI in vessel and pit pattern recognition when used in magnifying chromoendoscopy with crystal violet staining for superficial colorectal neoplasms.

methodsThis was an experimental study. Colour difference (CD) values between the surrounding mucosa and vessels and pits were measured on white light (WLI), blue laser (BLI), and LCI images. The CD values of 10 neoplastic lesions were calculated and compared between WLI and the other techniques.

resultsThe CD value was 9.8 (interquartile range, 7.3-12.4) for WLI, 9.7 (6.7-13.4) for LCI, and 6.8 (5.1-9.3) for BLI. The CD value was statistically different between WLI and BLI but not between WLI and LCI. With regard to vessel description, the CD value was 7.5 (4.0-11.0) for WLI, 15.6 (11.6-23.9) for LCI, and 23.3 (15.8-30.4) for BLI.

conclusionsLCI provides more diagnostic information than other light modes. Further, it is superior to the other techniques in terms of vessel visibility and is comparable to them in terms of pit recognition. These unique features of LCI may lead to its use as an alternative to WLI and BLI for pit and vessel pattern evaluation in the future.
