Improving the Accuracy of Endoscopic Measurements of the Size of Gastrointestinal Lesions by a Guidewire Scale.

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
Objectives: Using an endoscope to accurately measure the size of a lesion is crucial for assessing the healing process and determining the treatment strategies for the stage of the cancer. Visual estimation of the lesion size is commonly used, but this is often inaccurate. To address this issue, a guidewire scale was developed to measure lesion size and improve accuracy at a practical level. Methods: Four endoscopists estimated the size of artificial lesions in the gastric model by visual comparison with the guidewire measurements. The endoscopists used a guidewire scale to determine the size of the lesion and rated their satisfaction after the procedure using a numeral rating scale (NRS). Results: Fifty-two patients were recruited and assessed for the size of their lesions using a guidewire scale. Overall, the endoscopists reported good satisfaction levels (NRS ≥ 8), with satisfaction significantly higher in the dyspepsia group ( Conclusions: The accuracy of endoscopic measurements was improved using the guidewire scale, allowing clinical studies to safely and easily estimate lesion sizes.
