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

backgroundL-Menthol sprayed on early gastric cancer (EGC) has been reported to improve the visibility of the lesion. However, its impact when used in combination with novel image-enhanced endoscopy has not been investigated.

aimThis study aimed to evaluate the visual effect of spraying L-menthol on EGC under linked color imaging (LCI).

methodsThis open-label, single-arm, prospective study investigated the color difference between EGC and the surrounding mucosa (ΔE

resultsSixty patients were included in the final analysis. 100% lesions had ΔE

conclusionAlthough spraying L-menthol did not improve the visibility of EGC under LCI observation, a significant increase in ΔE
