A case of small bowel adenocarcinoma that caused intestinal obstruction after administration of patency capsule.
Article in Clinical journal of gastroenterology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
An 80-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with iron deficiency anemia and exertional chest pain. Coronary artery angiography showed 90% stenosis in the middle left anterior descending branch; abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes. Although his past medical history and results of imaging studies did not suggest intestinal stenosis, assessment of intestinal patency with the PillCam® patency capsule (tag-less PC) was performed. Thirty-three hours after administration, excretion of tag-less PC was not confirmed; an abdominal contrast-enhanced CT showed arrest of tag-less PC in the small bowel and thickening of the bowel wall, suggesting a small bowel tumor. Four days after administration of tag-less PC, he developed abdominal pain and vomiting. Intestinal obstruction was diagnosed by abdominal radiograph. A diagnosis of small bowel tumor with intestinal obstruction was made, and surgical resection was performed. The tumor was histologically an adenocarcinoma. It is necessary to carefully evaluate gastrointestinal patency before small intestine endoscopy especially in elderly people with reduced cardiopulmonary function and many underlying diseases.
