Surveillance using capsule endoscopy is safe in post-colectomy patients with familial adenomatous polyposis: a prospective Japanese study.
Trial report in Familial cancer, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The utility of capsule endoscopy (CE) for the surveillance of small intestinal lesions in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) patients has been reported. However, few studies have investigated the safety of CE in FAP patients who have undergone colon surgery. We aimed to assess the safety of surveillance CE in post-colectomy FAP patients and the endoscopic findings associated with small intestinal lesions. We assessed the safety of CE surveillance of small intestinal lesions in 41 FAP patients who had undergone colectomies. Forty-two CEs were performed in 41 patients at our facility from April 2012 to July 2014. CE was conducted safely and none of the capsules were retained, despite the inclusion of patients who had undergone several abdominal surgeries previously. Thirty-nine out of 42 capsules (93 %) were retrieved within the examination timeframe; hence, the retrieval rate was favorable. The findings from this study indicate that surveillance CE can be safely conducted in post-colectomy FAP patients.
