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

backgroundEndoscopic assessment for the diagnosis of gastric cancer is limited by interoperator variability and lack of real-time capability. Recently, Raman spectroscopy-based artificial intelligence (AI) has been proposed as a solution to overcome these limitations.

objectiveTo compare the performance of the AI-enabled Raman spectroscopy with that of high-definition white light endoscopy (HD-WLE) for the risk classification of gastric lesions.

methodsThis was a randomized double-arm feasibility proof-of-concept trial in which participants with suspected gastric neoplasia underwent endoscopic assessment using either the Raman spectroscopy-based AI (SPECTRA IMDx™) or HD-WLE performed by expert endoscopists. Identified lesions were classified in real time as having either low or high risk for neoplasia. Diagnostic outcomes were compared between the two groups using histopathology as the reference.

resultsA total of 20 patients with 25 lesions were included in the study. SPECTRA, in real-time, performed at a statistically similar level to that of HD-WLE performed by expert endoscopists, achieving an overall sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 100%, 80%, and 89.0%, respectively, by patient; and 100%, 80%, and 92%, respectively, by lesion, while expert endoscopists using HD-WLE attained a sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 100%, 80%, and 90%, respectively, by patient; and 100%, 83.3%, and 91.7%, respectively, by lesion, in differentiating high-risk from low-risk gastric lesions.

conclusionsThe SPECTRA's comparable performance with that of HD-WLE suggests that it can potentially be a valuable adjunct for less experienced endoscopists to attain accurate and real-time diagnoses of gastric lesions. Larger-scale prospective randomized trials are recommended to validate these promising results further.
