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

The diagnosis of Barrett's esophageal adenocarcinoma (BEA) in patients with Barrett's esophagus (BE) using endoscopy can be difficult and there are few specific endoscopic findings for BEA. However, white globe appearance (WGA) has been reported to be a specific endoscopic finding for early gastric cancer. We encountered a 51-year-old male patient with BEA exhibiting WGA. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy identified a red, depressed lesion of 10 mm within the long-segment BE (LSBE), while magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging identified WGA. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was performed based on our suspicion of BEA. Based on the ESD findings, we diagnosed adenocarcinoma accompanying LSBE histopathologically. WGA was identified, and intraglandular necrotic debris was discovered histologically at the same site. Therefore, WGA may be helpful in the diagnosis of BEA.
