Clinical diagnostic value of digestive endoscopic narrow-band imaging in early esophageal cancer.
Article in Oncology letters, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Clinical diagnostic value of digestive endoscopic narrow-band imaging in early esophageal cancer (EC) and benign lesions was explored. Retrospective analysis was carried out on the clinical data of 186 patients with early EC and benign lesions diagnosed by the Department of Gastroenterology in Cangzhou Central Hospital from February 2011 to April 2018. Among them, 102 patients examined by Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) were regarded as the research group. Eighty-four patients examined by conventional white light staining endoscopy were regarded as the control group. The lesion boundary definition, image clarity, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, diagnostic compliance rate, detection rate of lesions and adverse reactions were compared between the groups after examination. The results showed that the lesion boundary definition in the research group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). The 4-points of image clarity in the research group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and diagnostic compliance rate of the early EC and benign lesions in the research group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). The detection rate of the upper, middle and lower segments of lesions in the research group was higher than that in the control group. In conclusion, NBI has higher sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and diagnostic compliance rate for the diagnosis of early EC and benign lesions. Also it has more accuracy in the detection of lesions and fewer adverse reactions, the screening of early EC and benign lesions is effective, and worth promoting clinically.
