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

backgroundAccurate endoscopic diagnosis of colorectal lesions is essential for clinical management. This prospective multicenter study assessed the impact of magnification endoscopy on real-time decision-making for colorectal lesions.

methodsWe included 419 patients with 876 colorectal polyps and assessed using three approaches: single (white light endoscopy, WLE), dual (WLE + narrow-band imaging with magnification endoscopy, NBIME), and triple (WLE + NBIME + pit pattern analysis using magnification chromoendoscopy or acetic acid-enhanced NBIME). Expert endoscopists provided histological predictions and confidence. Predictions were further classified into three management categories: surveillance (hyperplastic polyps), endoscopic resection (conventional adenomas, sessile serrated lesions [SSLs], traditional serrated adenomas [TSAs], T1a carcinoma), and surgical resection (T1b carcinoma).

resultsLesions included 24 hyperplastic polyps, 654 conventional adenomas, 85 SSL/TSAs, 90 T1a carcinomas, and 23 T1b carcinomas. Histological prediction accuracy was 84.9%, 85.3%, and 87.4% (p = 0.35), and clinical diagnosis accuracy was 94.6%, 95.5%, and 96.5% (p = 0.17) for single, dual, and triple modalities, respectively, showing numerically higher values with additional modalities. High-confidence rates significantly increased with additional modalities (73.4%, 80.0%, 83.6%; p < 0.05), correlating with improved accuracy. In high-confidence cases, histological prediction accuracy was 93.3%, 92.7%, and 93.2%, compared to 66.5%, 60.6%, and 67.4% in low-confidence cases (p < 0.05). A similar trend was observed for clinical diagnosis, with accuracy of 98.3%, 97.9%, and 97.8% versus 85.0%, 85.7%, and 89.6% (p < 0.05). Confidence gain was associated with larger size in both single-dual and dual-triple transitions (p < 0.05), particularly ≥ 10 mm lesions.

conclusionMagnification endoscopy has minimal impact on diagnostic accuracy but significantly enhances diagnostic confidence, aiding clinical decisions.
