The use of a patency capsule in pediatric Crohn's disease: a prospective evaluation.
Trial report in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
backgroundCapsule endoscopy (CE) retention remains a concern in patients with suspected or known Crohn's Disease (CD).
aimThe aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of a patency capsule (PC) to establish functional patency in pediatric patients with suspected or known, symptomatic IBD.
methodsA prospective, single center study evaluating the impact of CE on CD management used PC to qualify patients for CE. Patients excreting an intact PC, usually within 40 h of ingestion, were able to undergo standard video CE. Excretion time, structural integrity and patient safety were evaluated.
resultsEighteen patients (10-16 years of age; 9 male; 5 known CD, 3 indeterminate colitis, 1 ulcerative colitis, 9 suspected CD) ingested the PC. Fifteen patients excreted intact PC (mean 34.5 h), 12 patients within 40 h (range 9-60 h). Sixteen (89%) underwent subsequent CE successfully. CD was eventually diagnosed in all patients having PC transit ≥40 h, whereas CD was the diagnosis in 9/12 (75%) in those patients who passed the PC within 40 h. The mean time of passage for an intact PC was 34.7 h, the longest 60 h. There were no capsule retentions or adverse events.
conclusionsThe PC appears to be a useful screening tool for functional patency of the small bowel in suspected or known pediatric CD. Delayed passage of an intact PC requires careful interpretation.
