Diagnostic Ability of Magnifying Narrow-Band Imaging for the Extent of Early Gastric Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Gastroenterology research and practice, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundAccurate delineation of tumor margin is essential for complete resection of early gastric cancer (EGC). The objective of this study is to assess the performance of magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (ME-NBI) for the accurate demarcation of EGC margins.
methodsWe searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases up to March 2020 to identify eligible studies. The diagnostic accuracy of ME-NBI for EGC margins was calculated, and subgroup analyses were performed based on tumor size, depth of tumor invasion, tumor-occupied site, macroscopic type, histological type,
resultsTen studies comprising 1018 lesions were eligible in the databases. The diagnostic accuracy of ME-NBI for the demarcation of EGC margins was 92.4% (95% confidence interval (CI): 86.7%-96.8%). According to ME-NBI subgroup analyses, the rate of accurate evaluation of EGC margins was not associated with
conclusionsME-NBI enables a reliable delineation of the extent of EGC.
