1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundAlthough previous studies have utilized narrow band imaging endoscopy diagnosis (NBIED) in detection of patients with early gastric cancer (EGC), there are still inconsistent results. Thus, this study will explore the accuracy of NBIED in detection of patients with EGC.

methodsWe propose to perform literature search of potential studies investigating the accuracy of NBIED in detection of patients with EGC in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, WANGFANG, VIP database and China National Knowledge Infrastructure from the beginning of each database to January 31, 2020 without restrictions to language and publication time. Two authors will independently scrutinize these databases to identify studies that satisfy all predefined eligibility criteria. We will check study quality and analyze outcome data using Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies tool, and RevMan 5.3 software respectively.

resultsWe anticipate the results of this study will afford additional insight into the appraising of the accuracy of NBIED in patients with EGC.

conclusionThe findings of this study will be useful informing diagnostic decisions for the diagnosis of patients with EGC.PROSPERO registration number: PROSPERO CRD42020171053.
