Capsule endoscopy in small-bowel surveillance of patients with hereditary polyposis syndromes.
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeFamilial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) are hereditary polyposis syndromes with a high risk for benign small-bowel polyps and cancer. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of small-bowel polyps beyond the duodenum in patients with FAP and PJS and to examine the clinical value and the optimal interval of capsule endoscopy (CE) for the surveillance of small-bowel polyps in patients with FAP.
methodsBetween 2002 and 2009, standard gastroscopy, duodenoscopy, and CE were performed on 19 consecutive patients with hereditary polyposis syndromes (FAP n=15; PJS n=4). The number, size, and location of polyps detected by CE were assessed. Five FAP patients had repeated CEs in intervals of 2-7 years.
resultsIn 13 of the 15 (87%) FAP patients, small-bowel polyps were detected by CE ranging from estimated <5 mm to >10 mm in size. Thereof, in four patients, medium-sized (5-10 mm) or large-sized (>10 mm) polyps were seen-all of them located in the proximal jejunum. In three FAP patients with repeated CEs, the latest CE displayed medium- and large-sized polyps in the proximal jejunum, whereas previous CEs had detected only small-sized (<5 mm) polyps. In three of the four PJS patients, large-sized small-bowel polyps were visualized by CE which could then be removed by double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) or surgical resection.
conclusionCE is an effective and safe method for small-bowel surveillance in FAP and PJS.
