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

With the recent development of double-balloon endoscopy (DBE) and capsule endoscopy (CE), it has become possible to observe the entire small bowel endoscopically. DBE enables us to make detailed observations and at the same time takes biopsy samples. Single-balloon endoscopy (SBE), which has a balloon only at the tip of the overtube, has also been introduced. Since DBE and SBE are similar in the concept of insertion method, a general term 'balloon-assisted endoscopy' (BAE) is used when referring to these methods. Characteristic small bowel lesions observed with BAE in Crohn's disease are aphthoid ulcers, round ulcers, irregular ulcers and longitudinal ulcers. These ulcers tend to be located on the mesenteric side of the small bowel. Since BAE can determine the location (mesenteric or antimesenteric side) of the ulceration, it is useful in distinguishing Crohn's disease from other diseases that have ulcers in the small bowel. Strictures are a major clinical problem in the course of Crohn's disease. Traditionally, surgery was the main choice for small bowel strictures. In some cases, strictures located in distal ileum or proximal jejunum have been dilated using standard enteroscopes. DBE now enables balloon dilatation to be performed endoscopically even in the deep small bowel.
