Screening and Prevention of Barrett's Esophagus.
Review in Visceral medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Barrett's esophagus (BO) is a risk factor for esophageal adenocarcinoma. However, screening for BO is difficult since it is not yet clear who should be screened and which screening method is cost-effective. Screening methods could be upper endoscopy at the time of the first screening colonoscopy, transnasal endoscopy, esophageal capsule endoscopy, or cytosponge. In order to prevent the development of BO or its neoplastic progression, there are modifiable risk factors like obesity or smoking that can be influenced. In addition, several drugs like proton pump inhibitors, aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and statins have shown promising effects in mostly observational studies. However, data from prospective randomized trials are scarce in order to draw final conclusions.
