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

Background and study aims: Completeness of esophagagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) varies among endoscopists, leading to a high miss rate for gastric neoplasms. This study aimed to determine the effect of the Cerebro real-time artificial intelligence (AI) system on completeness of EGD for endoscopists in early stages of training. Patients and methods: The AI system was built with CNN and Motion Adaptive Temporal Feature Aggregation (MA-TFA). A prospective sequential cohort study was conducted. Endoscopists were taught about the standardized EGD protocol to examine 27 sites. Then, each subject performed diagnostic EGDs per protocol (control arm). After completion of the required sample size, subjects performed diagnostic EGDs with assistance of the AI (study arm). The primary outcome was the rate of completeness of EGD. Secondary outcomes included overall inspection time, individual site inspection time, completeness of photodocumentation, and rate of positive pathologies. Results: A total of 466 EGDs were performed with 233 in each group. Use of AI significantly improved completeness of EGD [mean (SD) (92.6% (6.2%) vs 71.2% (16.8%)]; Conclusions: Completeness of EGD examination and photodocumentation by endoscopists in early stages of are improved by the AI-assisted software Cerebro.
