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

Gastric cancer is a common cancer endangering human life and health worldwide. Early detection and diagnosis of gastric cancer that is normally performed by flexible endoscope can significantly improve the survival rate of patients. However, current endoscopic instruments have some problems, such as limitation of degrees of freedom (DOFs) and lack of surgical triangulation. Meanwhile, the lack of an intraoperative technique for the real-time evaluation of early gastric cancer is also a serious problem. To solve these problems, we have developed a dual-bending flexible endoscopic instrument for the diagnosis and treatment of early gastric cancer. This instrument has a compact structure with a maximum outer diameter of 3 mm and an insertion length of 1220 mm. It has 5 DOFs with a dual-bending function, which can form a surgical operation triangulation to easily perform the endoscopic procedure. Apart from the surgical forceps, the end of the instrument can be equipped with different endoscopic devices to meet the needs of diagnosis and treatment, such as endomicroscopic probes, electrosurgical knives, and laser ablation optical fibers. It is verified that the instrument can carry these devices to complete corresponding tasks, demonstrating the great potential of this instrument in clinical applications.
