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

Screening endoscopy has advanced to facilitate improvements in the detection and prognosis of gastric cancer. However, most early gastric cancers (EGCs) have subtle morphological or color features that are difficult to detect by white-light imaging (WLI); thus, even well-trained endoscopists can miss EGC when using this conventional endoscopic approach. This review summarizes the current and future status of linked color imaging (LCI), a new image-enhancing endoscopy (IEE) method, for gastric screening. LCI has been shown to produce bright images even at a distant view and provide excellent visibility of gastric cancer due to high color contrast relative to the surrounding tissue. LCI delineates EGC as orange-red and intestinal metaplasia as purple, regardless of a history of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) eradication, and contributes to the detection of superficial EGC. Moreover, LCI assists in the determination of Hp infection status, which is closely related to the risk of developing gastric cancer. Transnasal endoscopy (ultra-thin) using LCI is also useful for identifying gastric neoplastic lesions. Recently, several prospective studies have demonstrated that LCI has a higher detection ratio for gastric cancer than WLI. We believe that LCI should be used in routine upper gastrointestinal endoscopies.
