Roles of double-balloon endoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of Crohn's disease: a multicenter experience.
Article in Journal of gastroenterology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
backgroundDouble-balloon endoscopy (DBE) examinations are not yet widely accepted as routine procedures for examining the small bowel of patients with Crohn's disease (CD).
aimTo evaluate the feasibility and usefulness of DBE for CD in tertiary-care hospitals.
methodsBetween July 2004 and September 2008, 1444 DBE procedures were performed for 704 patients in 6 tertiary-care hospitals. Patient profile, indication, diagnosis and treatment of DBE were evaluated using a multicenter database.
resultsDBE examinations were most frequently performed in 75 patients with CD, corresponding to 10.5% of all the patients examined by DBE. Fifty patients were diagnosed with CD before DBE, while DBE was performed for the diagnosis of 25 new CD patients. Small bowel lesions were often detected even when the terminal ileum was not involved. In the 75 patients, 21 patients were asymptomatic at the time of DBE examinations. Active inflammatory lesions were detected in 51.2% of the CD patients, and were even detected in 33.3% of the asymptomatic CD patients. The treatment was altered in 53.3% of the CD patients after the DBE evaluation. No severe complications were experienced.
conclusionsDBE procedures can be safely performed in patients with CD and should be considered for the precise evaluation of and to determine the treatment strategy for CD.
