Magnifying endoscopy with novel image enhancement technology for gastrointestinal tumors.

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
Background and Aims: A new magnifying endoscope system applying novel endoscopic image enhancement technology of spectral focused imaging (SFI) and versatile intelligent staining technology (VIST) has been developed. This study aimed to evaluate the technical feasibility and the utility of the detection and diagnosis of gastrointestinal tumors. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed and analyzed the endoscopic images of 6 digestive tract lesions in 4 patients detected with a SonoScape magnifying endoscope (SonoScape Medical Corp, Guangdong, China). The demographics, endoscopic and histopathologic features, and outcomes of the cases were analyzed. Results: By varying the imaging mode of SFI and VIST, we could obtain enhanced endoscopic images clearly revealing esophageal intraepithelial capillary loop, gastric microvascular and microsurface, and colorectal pit pattern. These images significantly improved the efficiency of clinical diagnosis and were consistent with pathologic diagnoses. Conclusions: Our study demonstrated that a novel magnifying endoscope system using SFI/VIST may be useful for diagnosis of gastrointestinal tumors.
