Inter-Observer Agreement of a New Endoscopic Score for Ulcerative Colitis Activity: Preliminary Experience.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Ulcerative colitis (UC) endoscopic scores translate mucosal damage into values standardizing image analysis. Due to potential limits of current endoscopic activity indexes, we have elaborated on a new score, the "Extended Mayo Endoscopic Score (EMES)," and evaluated its inter-observer agreement in a multicenter endoscopy team, comparing concordance with the Mayo subscore. Sixteen UC consecutive patients underwent follow-up colonoscopy. Recorded videos were anonymously loaded on a web platform. Thirteen expert endoscopists evaluated UC activity using both Mayo and EMES. EMES was described in every colon segment: erythema (0: absent, 1: mild, 2: moderate, 3: severe), vascular pattern (0: normal, 1: reduction, 2: disappearance), erosions and ulcers (0: absent, 1: from 1 to 5, 2: 6 to 10, 3: >10). Weighted Fleiss' kappa with 95% confidence interval (CI) and
