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
BACKGROUND AND
aimData regarding the comparison of colonoscopic preparation regimens are still variable. We aimed to assess the adequacy and tolerability of two bowel preparation regimens for afternoon colonoscopy.
methodsIn a randomized, investigator-blinded trial, two preparation regimens [4-L split-dose polyethylene glycol-electrolytes (PEG-ELS) and 2-L PEG-ELS plus bisacodyl) were compared in terms of bowel cleansing efficacy and adverse effects.
resultsThe mean (±SD) age (years) of the 4-L split-dose PEG-ELS group (
conclusionsThe 2-L PEG-ELS plus bisacodyl (10 mg) preparation is as efficacious as the 4-L split-dose PEG-ELS regimen for afternoon colonoscopy. Optimal preparation for colonoscopy can be achieved with the 2-L PEG-ELS plus bisacodyl regimen with slightly fewer adverse events and lower cost compared to the 4-L split-dose PEG-ELS regimen.
