Comparison of Magnifying Endoscopy with Blue Light Imaging and Narrow Band Imaging for Determining the Invasion Depth of Superficial Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma by the Japanese Esophageal Society's Intrapapillary Capillary Loop Classification.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Blue light imaging (BLI) and narrow-band imaging (NBI) are two modalities that enable narrow-band light observation. We aimed to compare the diagnostic ability of magnifying endoscopy with BLI (ME-BLI) and NBI (ME-NBI) for determining the invasion depth of superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SESCC) by the Japanese Esophageal Society's intrapapillary capillary loop (IPCL) classification. We enrolled 81 patients between 2014 and 2018, and the still endoscopic images for diagnosing the invasion depth at the same part in ME-BLI and ME-NBI were registered. Two blinded investigators reviewed them and diagnosed the invasion depth by the IPCL classification. Subsequently, the diagnostic yields in two modalities were compared. The overall accuracies for the invasion depth by the IPCL classification in ME-BLI and ME-NBI did not differ significantly (67.9-71.6% vs. 72.8-74.1%). In the analysis based on the invasion depth, the sensitivities and positive predictive values in tumors invading the muscularis mucosa or submucosa ≤200 µm were low (23.1-30.8% and 16.7-25.0%, respectively) in both modalities. In conclusion, the diagnostic ability for determining the invasion depth of SESCC by the IPCL classification was relatively similar in ME-BLI and ME-NBI, but diagnosis by magnifying endoscopy alone might not be satisfactory.
