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

purposeEarly detection of GI cancer mass is of utmost importance due to the risks of misdiagnoses that occur through standard endoscopic evaluation.

methodsIn this research, a real-time intra-endoscopic electrical diagnostic probe has been introduced to discriminate high-risk excision-required lesions utilizing a modified endoscopic biopsy forceps as a non-invasive method.

resultsBy testing on 52 patients who had undergone endoscopic biopsy with a total of 18 high-risk lesions, the invented device named Electrical Endoscopic Mass Characterizer (EEMC), showed %94.7 sensitivity, %93.9 specificity, and %94.2 accuracy (p < 0.01) based on histopathological evaluations of removed specimens as the gold standard.

conclusionsEEMC can be utilized as a precise complementary device during endoscopic evaluation for improving the accuracy of early-stage GI cancer detection with no interruptions in the routine procedure.
