Magnetic Steering of Capsule Endoscopy Improves Small Bowel Capsule Endoscopy Completion Rate.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundCapsule endoscopy is currently available as a noninvasive and effective diagnostic modality to identify small bowel abnormalities, with a completion rate to the cecum between 75.1 and 95.6%. A novel magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (MCE) system could facilitate passage of the capsule through the pylorus, thereby reducing the gastric transit time (GTT).
objectiveWe performed this study to determine whether magnetic steering could improve the capsule endoscopy completion rate (CECR) compared to standard protocol.
methodsPatients referred for MCE in our center from June 2017 to November 2017 were prospectively enrolled. Magnetic steering of the capsule through the pylorus was performed after standard gastric examination. CECR, GTT, pyloric transit time (PTT), and rapid gastric transit (GTT ≤ 30 min) rate were compared with a historical control group enrolled from January 2017 to May 2017.
resultsCECR was significantly higher in the intervention group (n = 107) than control group (n = 120) (100% vs. 94.2%, P = 0.02), with a significantly shorter GTT (22.2 vs. 84.5 min, P < 0.001) and PTT (4.4 vs. 56.7 min, P < 0.001). Rapid gastric transit rate in the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group (58.9% vs. 15.0%, P < 0.001). There were no statistical differences in the diagnostic yields between the two groups.
conclusionsMagnetic steering of capsule endoscopy improves small bowel CECR by reducing GTT, adding further support to MCE as a practical tool for noninvasive examination of both the stomach and small bowel. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov, ID: NCT03482661.
