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

backgroundEsophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is generally a safe procedure, but adverse events often occur. This highlights the necessity of the quality control of EGD. Complete visualization and photo documentation of upper gastrointestinal (UGI) tracts are important measures in quality control of EGD. To evaluate these measures in large scale, we developed an AI-driven quality control system for EGD through convolutional neural networks (CNNs) using archived endoscopic images.

methodsWe retrospectively collected and labeled images from 250 EGD procedures, a total of 2599 images from eight locations of the UGI tract, using the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) photo documentation methods. The label confirmed by five experts was considered the gold standard. We developed a CNN model for multi-class classification of EGD images to one of the eight locations and binary classification of each EGD procedure based on its completeness.

resultsOur CNN model successfully classified the EGD images into one of the eight regions of UGI tracts with 97.58% accuracy, 97.42% sensitivity, 99.66% specificity, 97.50% positive predictive value (PPV), and 99.66% negative predictive value (NPV). Our model classified the completeness of EGD with 89.20% accuracy, 89.20% sensitivity, 100.00% specificity, 100.00% PPV, and 64.94% NPV. We analyzed the credibility of our model using a probability heatmap.

conclusionsWe constructed a CNN model that could be used in the quality control of photo documentation in EGD. Our model needs further validation with a large dataset, and we expect our model to help both endoscopists and patients by improving the quality of EGD procedures.
