    Background and Aims Dye-Based chromoendoscopy (DBC) could be effective in increasing adenoma detection rate (ADR) in patients undergoing colonoscopy, but the technique is time-consuming and its uptake is limited. We aimed to assess the effect of DBC on ADR based on available randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Methods Four databases were searched up to April 2022, for RCTs comparing DBC with conventional colonoscopy (CC) in terms of ADR, advanced ADR, and sessile serrated adenoma (SSA) detection rates as well as the mean number of adenomas per patient (MAP) and non-neoplastic lesions. Relative risk (RR) for dichotomous outcomes and mean difference (MD) for continuous outcomes were calculated using random-effect models. I2 test was used for quantifying heterogeneity. Risk of bias was evaluated with Cochrane tool. Results Overall, 10 RCTs (5,334 patients) were included. Indication for colonoscopy was screening or surveillance (3 studies), and mixed (7 studies). Pooled ADR was higher in the DBC group vs. CC group, (48.1%[41.4-54.8%] vs 39.3%[33.5-46.4%]; RR=1.20[1.11- 1.29]), with low heterogeneity (I2=29%). This effect was consistent for advanced ADR (RR=1.21[1.03-1.42] I2=0.0%), and for SSA (6.1% vs 3.5%; RR, 1.68; [1.15-2.47]; I2=9.8%), as well as for MAP (MD 0.24 [0.17–0.31]) overall and in the right colon (MD, 0.28 [0.14-0.43]. High-definition white-light colonoscopy (HDWL) was more effective than standard white-light colonoscopy (SDWL) for detection of adenomas (51.6% 95% CI:47.1-56.1% vs. 34.2%; 95% CI:28.5-40.4%) and DBC (59.1%; 95% CI:54.7-63.3%) was more effective than HDWL (RR=1.14; 95% CI:1.06-1.23, I2= 0.0%]. Conclusions Meta-analysis of RCTs showed that DBC increases key quality parameters in colonoscopy, supporting its use in every-day clinical practice.
