Small bowel capsule endoscopy: Indications, results, and clinical benefit in a University environment.
Article in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05228379 (Small Bowel Capsule Endoscopy), which is not on this map. Cited by 10 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.

Abstract
Capsule endoscopy (CE) opened a new method for visualization of the small intestine. We here further explore its clinical implications.We retrospectively analyzed the clinical benefit of CE in view of medical history, diagnostics, and therapy. Our patient collective consisted of 203 patients. CE was investigated in the context of bleeding, anemia, abdominal pain, diarrhea, Crohn's disease, and suspected tumors.The study collective consisted of 118 male and 85 female patients with a mean age of 58 years (range 8-90 years). Complete bowel transit took place in 82% of the patients. The diagnostic yield in the detection of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding was 80% and for anemia 78%. Mucosal lesions were the most common finding (43%). Unclear abdominal pain had the lowest diagnostic yield (41%). Ensuing therapeutic interventions were mostly medical (66%), and to a minor extent surgical (4.4%) as well as endoscopic (4%).In conclusion, small intestinal CE is a secure method to clarify small intestinal diseases, especially obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, even in pre-operated patients without stenosis symptoms. Our study emphasizes in a collective of patients with extensive prior diagnostics that due to CE therapeutic measures resulted in 73%.
