Role of Narrow Band Imaging in Laryngeal Lesions: A Prospective Study from Southern India.

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
To assess the utility of Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) as a diagnostic tool in evaluating laryngeal pathology in patients presenting with hoarseness. Study design: Prospective cross sectional diagnostic study. Methods: 200 patients with voice change were recruited and laryngeal findings documented with high definition flexible endoscopy with both white light and narrow band light and the representative still images recorded for analysis. The NBI intraepithelial papillary capillary loop (IPCL) patterns was compared with the histopathology report. Of the 200 patients evaluated, 84 lesions were biopsied which included both benign and malignant lesions. The sensitivity obtained was 73.3% [54.1-87.7% with 95% CI] and the specificity was 87% [75.1-94.6% with 95% CI] for detecting malignant lesions. NBI can be considered as a useful diagnostic tool in evaluating laryngeal pathology and can be used to detect early premalignant and malignant lesions.
