Sponge cytology combined with endoscopy in patients with long-segment Barrett's esophagus: A retrospective case series and literature review.
Review in The Journal of international medical research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
This study summarized the clinical characteristics and endoscopic findings in patients with long-segment Barrett's esophagus through a retrospective analysis of the clinical data of three patients with long-segment Barrett's esophagus. Data from patients, including demographic characteristics, medical history, endoscopy findings, pathological diagnosis, and esophageal sponge cytology results were analyzed, and a literature review was performed. Three patients were included; all were male with a mean age of 67.3 ± 7.1 years. Symptoms encompassed heartburn (3/3), acid reflux (2/3), belching (1/3), retrosternal pain (1/3), abdominal distension (1/3), and dysphagia (1/3). Risk factors included alcohol use (3/3), consumption of pickled and hot foods or beverages (3/3), smoking (1/3), and familial esophageal disease history (1/3). Endoscopically, Prague C & M criteria measurements were C
