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

backgroundThe most concerning complication of capsule endoscopy (CE) is capsule retention (CR) in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract; however, the clinical outcomes and management of patients with CR are still uncertain.

aimsThis study aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes and management of CR.

methodsThe outcomes of CR in multiple centers between October 2002 and June 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Data on CE indication, findings, and management details were analyzed.

resultsA total of 2705 consecutive small-bowel CE procedures were performed. CR was detected in 20 cases (0.7%). The most common site of CR was the small bowel (19 cases), followed by the esophagus (one case). In patients who underwent CE, CR was detected in nine (0.6%) of 1397 patients with obscure GI bleeding. Further, CR occurred in 11 (6.5%) of 169 patients with Crohn's disease based on the final diagnoses after CE. Capsule retrieval was safely performed surgically in nine cases and endoscopically in six cases. The retained capsules dislodged after steroid treatment in two cases, whereas three cases of CR resolved without any intervention. In multivariate analysis, the development of abdominal symptoms after CR was a significant predictive factor for requiring endoscopic or surgical interventions for capsule extraction.

conclusionsThis large multicenter study shows that CR is a rare complication with favorable clinical outcomes. Three-fourths of the patients with CR were managed with endoscopic or surgical intervention, which was required particularly in patients with abdominal symptoms after CR.
