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

objectiveThe evaluation of GI-pill gastrointestinal electronic capsule for colonic transit test in patients with slow transit constipation (STC) was studied. MATERIALS AND

methodsSTC patients (n = 162) were randomly divided into experimental group (n = 84, orally taken GI-pill gastrointestinal electronic capsule and X-ray granule capsule) and control group (n = 78, orally taken X-ray granule capsule). Comparison of the time in colonic transit test between the two groups was conducted. The data of GI-pill gastrointestinal electronic capsule in vivo time, time of capsule passing through the colon, the number of high amplitude propagating contractions (HAPCs), and physiological response ratio were analyzed.

resultsThere were no significant differences in the whole colonic transit test time, right colonic transit time, left colonic transit time, and rectosigmoid colonic transit time between experimental group and control group (p > 0.05). All patients had no abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, black stool, difficulty in electronic capsule excretion, or any other discomfort during the test.

conclusionGI-pill gastrointestinal electronic capsule can continuously evaluate the dynamic characteristics of digestive tract in STC patients and is consistent with X-ray granule capsule, which is meaningful to clinical application.
