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

Introduction: Conventional narrow-band imaging-guided site-specific biopsy enhances mucosal visualization in the evaluation of Methods: This observational study included 185 adults with dyspeptic symptoms. Gastric biopsies were obtained using white light endoscopy and conventional narrow band imaging, and all specimens were tested for Results: The conventional rapid urease test was positive in 175 patients, and the conventional narrow-band imaging rapid urease test was positive in 172 patients, demonstrating a significant association between the two diagnostic approaches. Conclusion: Conventional narrow-band imaging-guided biopsy showed positivity yields that were concordant with those of conventional white-light endoscopy-guided biopsy in identifying
