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

backgroundColon capsule endoscopy is a promising technique for evaluation of the colon, but its reproducibility is still unknown.

objectiveThis study assesses intra and inter-observer agreement in evaluations of colon capsule endoscopy videos.

methodsForty-two complete colon capsule endoscopy investigations were analysed by three experts and two beginners. Intra-observer agreement was assessed in paired readings of two experts and two beginners. Agreement was determined by the intraclass correlation coefficient: poor (<0.5), moderate (0.5-0.75), good (0.75-0.9) and excellent (>0.9).

resultsAgreement on 'indication for a following colonoscopy' based on the number and size of detected polyps and bowel cleansing quality was poor among all observers. Agreement among experts on the detection of large polyps and number of polyps was moderate, but agreement on bowel cleansing quality was poor. Beginners were in moderate agreement with the experts on polyp detection. Intra-observer agreement in experts was moderate to excellent for the detection of large polyps (≥10 mm), excellent for the number of polyps, and poor to moderate for bowel cleansing quality. Intra-observer agreement in beginners was poor to moderate for all variables.

conclusionsThis study shows a poor agreement on 'indication for a following colonoscopy', but a high intra and inter-observer agreement for polyp detection among experts, as well as a moderate agreement between beginners and experts.
