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

Background and study aims: Map-like redness (MLR) is a characteristic feature of gastritis after Patients and methods: We enrolled 56 consecutive MLR patients between January 2023 and July 2023. Endoscopic signs and histopathological characteristics were compared among the reddish area, transition zone, and background mucosa (areas R, T, and B, respectively). Results: The histopathological analysis showed significantly greater atrophy, gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM), and dysplasia in area R compared to other areas ( Conclusion: Gastric MLR, particularly the central reddish area, was associated with localized high-risk mucosal changes, including advanced atrophy, GIM, incomplete GIM, increased microvessel density, and dysplasia in some cases. MLR may serve as an endoscopic marker of high-risk mucosal changes after successful
