Volumetric laser endomicroscopy in Barrett's esophagus: ready for primetime.
Review in Translational gastroenterology and hepatology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Barrett's esophagus (BE) is the condition where intestinal metaplastic changes are found in the normal stratified squamous epithelium of the esophagus predisposing an individual to dysplasia and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). It tends to affect males and is often the result of chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The current standard of therapy for diagnosing Barrett's is white light endoscopy (WLE) with biopsies obtained using the Seattle protocol. Multiple newer advanced modalities have been developed to improve diagnostic abilities, including volumetric laser endomicroscopy (VLE). This technique utilizes second generation optical coherence tomography (OCT) to provide an enhanced circumferential image to a depth of 3 mm with the potential for improved diagnostic yield for dysplasia, particularly submucosal lesions or lesions not seen by WLE. It has also been evaluated in guiding mapping of endotherapy as well as post therapy surveillance for recurrence. Although the results have been promising when used with current diagnostic standards, overall data are limited to support the routine use of VLE.
