Clinical Efficiency and Safety of Magnetic-Controlled Capsule Endoscopy for Gastric Diseases in Aging Patients: Our Preliminary Experience.
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. Cited by 8 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe elderly assess higher incidence of gastric diseases and may meet challenges and contraindications when flexible esophagogastroduodenoscopy intubating. Magnetic-controlled capsule endoscopy (MCE) is declared as a promising alternative, but its applications in elderly population do not attach enough importance.
aimsTo explore MCE's efficiency and safety in the elderly.
methodsA single-center retrospective study has been conducted. Data from the elderly group (>65 year-old) who underwent MCE examination, including indications, MCE outcomes, gastric conditions, evaluations from MCE manipulators and endoscopists, subjective discomforts, adverse events, etc., had been collected, then analyzed, and compared with the ones from the middle-aged group (>40, ≤ 65 year-old).
resultsDuring April 2015 and September 2018, 98 elderly patients and 72 middle-aged patients underwent MCE examination. In the elderly, the indications included poor physical condition (28.6%), severe angiocardiopathy (39.8%), EGD rejection (13.3%), severe respiratory disorder (8.2%), craniocerebral injury (8.2%), and allergy to anesthetics (2.0%). Rate of complete gastric observation and positive finding were 98.0% and 72.4% (vs. middle-aged group, 94.4%, 56.9%, P = 0.220, 0.035), and gastric conditions showed relatively inferior. Gastric preparation and MCE procedure were generally tolerated, but three elderly patients (3.1%) experienced capsule blockage in stomach.
conclusionsOur preliminary data support that MCE offers considerable benefit and is general safe for the elderly. We hope such data promote greater awareness of innovative attempts for the specific elderly, and expect multi-center, large-scale trials with randomized controlled design bring optimized strategies for better gastric visibility, efficacy and lower potential risk.
