The utility of ultrathin endoscopy with flexible spectral imaging color enhancement for early gastric cancer.
Article in Nagoya journal of medical science, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Many researchers suggested that ultrathin endoscopy improves patient acceptance of endoscopic examinations. However, ultrathin endoscopy provides less image resolution and luminous intensity. Therefore, we focused on the visibility of early gastric cancer on ultrathin endoscopy with Flexible spectral imaging color enhancement (FICE) in this study. Thirty-six patients with early gastric cancer were prospectively enrolled. One endoscopist performed the endoscopic examinations by white light conventional endoscopy (W-CE), white light ultrathin endoscopy (W-UE), FICE ultrathin endoscopy (F-UE) and white light plus FICE ultrathin endoscopy (WF-UE) in the patients. Four other endoscopists were asked to evaluate the visibility of gastric cancer on the W-CE, W-UE, F-UE and WF-UE images with a 5-point Likert scale. The lesions were classified as uncolored, normocolored or reddish. We examined the color difference between early gastric cancer and the surrounding mucosa. To examine the relationship between the color difference and the vessel density, we also measured the difference in vessel density using pathologic specimens stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The Likert score of WF-UE was significantly higher than those of the other three methods (
