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

Objective Linked-color imaging (LCI), a new technology for image-enhanced endoscopy, emphasizes the color of the mucosa, and its practicality in the detection of early gastric and colon cancers has been reported. However, whether or not LCI is useful for the diagnosis of Barrett's adenocarcinoma (BA) has been unclear. In this study, we explored whether or not LCI enhances the color difference between a BA lesion and the surrounding mucosa. Methods Twenty-one lesions from 20 consecutive patients with superficial BA who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection between November 2014 and September 2017 were retrospectively examined. The color differences (ΔE*) between the inside and outside of the lesion were evaluated retrospectively using white-light imaging (WLI), blue-light imaging (BLI), and LCI objectively, based on a Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) lab color system. Furthermore, we compared the morphology, color, and circumferential location of the lesion. Results The median values of the color difference (ΔE*) in WLI and BLI were 9.1 and 5.8, respectively, and no difference was observed. In LCI, the median color difference was 17.6, which was higher than that of WLI and BLI. Regardless of the morphology, color, and circumferential location of BA lesions, the color difference was larger in LCI than in WLI. Conclusion LCI increases the color difference between the BA and the surrounding Barrett's mucosa.
