Comparison of strictureplasty and endoscopic balloon dilatation for stricturing Crohn's disease--review of the literature.
Review 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 27 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundStricturing Crohn's disease is accompanied by a high-risk for bowel resection and subsequent short bowel syndrome. Strictureplasty (SP) and endoscopic balloon dilatation (EBD) have been developed to prevent, or at least delay, the requirement for resection. The goal of this study was to compare the outcome of these two procedures with regard to complications and disease recurrence.
methodsWe conducted a MEDLINE literature search to give a current overview about the safety and efficacy of EBD and SP.
resultsThe initial search yielded 744 articles. Case reports, reviews and meta-analyses were excluded. Finally, 63 articles (SP, 40 articles; EBD, 23 articles) were used for the review. None of the studies compared the two methods directly. A total of 2,532 patients (SP, n = 1,958; EBD, n = 574) were included. The incidence of perioperative complications after SP was 11% and the incidence of major complications was 5%. The median surgical recurrence rate was 24% after a median follow-up of 46 months. The median technical success for EBD was 90%. Major complications occurred in 3% of the cases. According to an intention-to-treat protocol, the median surgical recurrence rate was 27.6%. Per-protocol analysis revealed a median surgical recurrence rate of 21.4% after a median follow-up of 21 months.
conclusionDue to the lack of comparable data, there is currently no reliable information on whether one treatment option is superior to the other. Regarding the limited applicability of EBD in strictures of the small bowel, only a controlled trial would provide evidence as a basis for clinical decision making in CD strictures that are potentially treatable by EBD and SP.
