Do You See What I See? An Assessment of Endoscopic Lesions Recognition and Description by Gastroenterology Trainees and Staff Physicians.
Article in Journal of the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology, 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
backgroundGastroenterologists should accurately describe endoscopic findings and integrate them into management plans. We aimed to determine if trainees and staff are describing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) lesions in a similar manner.
methodsUsing 20 ileocolonoscopy images, participants described IBD inflammatory burden based on physician severity rating, and Mayo endoscopic score (MES) (ulcerative colitis [UC]) or simple endoscopic score (SES-CD) (Crohn's disease [CD]). Images were selected based on agreement by three IBD experts. Findings of varying severity were presented; 10 images included a question about management. We examined inter-observer agreement among trainees and staff, compared trainees to staff, and determined accuracy of response comparing both groups to IBD experts.
resultsOne hundred and twenty-nine staff and 47 trainees participated from across Canada. There was moderate inter-rater agreement using physician severity rating (κ = 0.53 UC and 0.52 CD for staff, κ = 0.51 UC and 0.43 CD for trainees). There was moderate inter-rater agreement for MES for staff and trainees (κ = 0.49 and 0.48, respectively), but fair agreement for SES-CD (κ = 0.37 and 0.32, respectively). For accuracy of response, the mean score was 68.7% for staff and 63.7% for trainees (
conclusionInter-rater agreement on description of IBD lesions was moderate at best. Staff and trainees more accurately describe healed and severe disease, and better describe lesions in UC than CD.
