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

purposeThe delivery system of the Bravo capsule was designed for placement on the esophagus. We evaluated the feasibility of our novel placement method of the Bravo capsule using a clip to monitor intragastric pH and to compare the accuracy of the Bravo wireless system to the traditionally used Slimline catheter-Mark III Digitrapper pH monitoring system.

methodsThe Bravo capsule was placed by clip or conventional delivery system using suction on the gastric wall in 20 fasted subjects. A separate group of ten healthy volunteers underwent simultaneous intragastric pH monitoring for comparison of the two systems with meals.

resultsEarly dislodgment rate of the capsules was lower when placed using clipping (20%) than using conventional delivery system (70%) within 48 h after placement. We observed prominent movement of one catheter in the stomach during the study. Post-test calibration drifts of the catheters at pH 7.01 were significantly greater than those of the Bravo capsules (P = 0.02).

conclusionOur novel clipping method of the Bravo pH capsule placement provided accurate monitoring of intragastric pH with merits of tolerability, acid stability, and fixing position.
