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

Artificial intelligence (AI) can accurately classify gastric lesions, but its clinician-level impact in real-world practice remains uncertain. We compared endoscopists’ diagnostic performance with vs. without AI assistance using both still-image (M1) and video (M2) datasets. We analyzed 1,584 cases (226 cancer, 282 dysplasia, 90 non-neoplastic lesions [NNL], 649 intestinal metaplasia [IM], and 337 gastritis/normal). One representative still image per case was extracted for M1; edited five-second video clips formed M2. Six in-training endoscopists (< 3 years’ experience) independently read M1 and M2 with and without AI after a one-week washout. As a stand-alone model, AI achieved 91.31% (M1) and 92.51% (M2) accuracy for focal lesions (sensitivities 91.02% and 91.91%; specificities 95.50% and 96.12%). For IM, accuracy was 91.83% (M1) and 92.45% (M2). With AI assistance, overall reader accuracy increased from 74.92% to 86.66% in M1 (AUC 0.742 to 0.860) and likewise from 74.92% to 86.81% in M2 (AUC 0.796 to 0.900); all p < 0.05. By subtype (videos, M2), accuracy improved 80.01% to 89.85% for cancer (+ 9.84%), % 67.16%to 81.08% for dysplasia (+ 13.92%), 77.59% to 89.50% for NNL (+ 11.91%), and 68.95% to 85.34% for IM (+ 16.39%). Still-image results showed similar gains (e.g., dysplasia 67.16% to 81.32%, IM 68.95% to 79.22%, both p < 0.05). AI assistance significantly enhances endoscopists’ diagnostic accuracy across lesion types and modalities, with the largest benefits for dysplasia and IM—conditions prone to clinician-level variability. These findings suggest that AI assistance may help improve reliability and support earlier recognition of clinically significant lesions.
