Risk factors associated with longer cecal intubation time: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in International journal of colorectal disease, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06531226 (Personality Traits and Colonoscopy Insertion Time), which is not on this map. Cited by 23 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
purposeCecal intubation time (CIT) is an indicator for difficult colonoscopy which is associated with patients' unpleasant experience as well as increased risk of complications. Several studies have attempted to identify predictors for prolonged CIT but those studies tended to be small which gave rise to inconsistent and underpowered results. This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to summarize all available data.
methodsMEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched through November 2017 for studies that investigated the factors for prolonged CIT. Only factors that were reported by at least three studies were included in the meta-analyses. Pooled mean difference (MD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using random effects model. The between-study heterogeneity of effect size was quantified using the Q statistic and I
resultsA total of nine studies involving 7131 patients were included. A total of six factors were analyzed. Patients with older age (≥ 65 versus < 65), female sex (versus male), low body mass index (BMI) (< 25 versus ≥ 25 kg/m
conclusionsThe current meta-analyses have demonstrated that old age, female sex, low BMI, and poor bowel preparation were the predictors for prolonged CIT.
