Improving the Quality of Inpatient Bowel Preparation for Colonoscopies.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
backgroundHospitalized patients completing bowel preparation for colonoscopy typically have preparations of poorer quality when compared to outpatient populations.
aimsOur study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a performance improvement program in improving colonoscopy preparation for an inpatient population.
methodsWe identified a cohort of adult patients (n = 641) undergoing an inpatient colonoscopy during a 12-month period at an academic medical center and compared a multifactor intervention group to a historical baseline group. During this 12-month period, a performance improvement program including use of a dedicated gastrointestinal nurse facilitator, implementation of standardized order sets, and introduction of split bowel preparations in the inpatient setting was made available to the cohort group.
resultsThe primary outcome was quality of bowel preparation for colonoscopy as rated by endoscopists using the modified Aronchick scale. When comparing the baseline group to the intervention group, the rate of acceptable preparations, characterized as excellent, good, or adequate, increased from 69.9 to 78.9%, which was statistically significant (p < 0.001).
conclusionsA comprehensive performance improvement program improved the quality of colonoscopy preparation among inpatients. The use of a dedicated gastrointestinal nurse facilitator, implementation of standardized order sets, and introduction of split bowel preparations are recommended in the inpatient setting for an effective bowel preparation.
