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

Determining the target population for the screening of Barrett's esophagus (BE), a precancerous condition of esophageal adenocarcinoma, remains a challenge in Asia. The aim of our study was to develop risk prediction models for BE using logistic regression (LR) and artificial neural network (ANN) methods. Their predictive performances were compared. We retrospectively analyzed 9646 adults aged ≥20 years undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy at a health examinations center in Taiwan. Evaluated by using 10-fold cross-validation, both models exhibited good discriminative power, with comparable area under curve (AUC) for the LR and ANN models (Both AUC were 0.702). Our risk prediction models for BE were developed from individuals with or without clinical indications of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. The models have the potential to serve as a practical tool for identifying high-risk individuals of BE among the general population for endoscopic screening.
