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

aimTo investigate the clinical differences between small intestinal injuries in low-dose aspirin (LDA) users and in non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) users who were examined by capsule endoscopy (CE) for obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB).

methodsA total of 181 patients who underwent CE for OGIB were included in this study. Based on clinical records, laboratory data such as hemoglobin levels, major symptoms, underlying diseases, the types and duration of LDA and NSAID use, and endoscopic characteristics of CE were reviewed.

resultsOut of a total of 45 cases of erosive lesions, 27 cases were taking LDA or NSAIDs (7 were on NSAIDs, 9 were on LDA alone, 9 were on LDA and thienopyridine, and 2 were on LDA and warfarin).The prevalence of ulcers or erosion during chronic use of LDA, LDA and the anti-platelet drug thienopyridine (clopidogrel or ticlopidine), and NSAIDs were 64.3%, 80.0%, and 75.0%, respectively. Erosive lesions were observed predominantly in chronic LDA users, while ulcerative lesions were detected mainly in NSAID users. However, concomitant use of thienopyridine such as clopidogrel with LDA increased the proportion of ulcers. The erosive lesions were located in the whole of the small intestine (jejunum and ileum), whereas ulcerative lesions were mainly observed in the ileum (P < 0.05).

conclusionOur CE findings indicate that chronic LDA users and NSAID users show different types and locations of small-bowel mucosal injuries. The concomitant use of anti-platelet drugs with LDA tends to exacerbate the injuries from LDA-type to NSAID-type injuries.
