Outcomes and safety of double-balloon enteroscopy in small bowel diseases: a single-center experience of 1531 procedures.

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
backgroundDouble-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) has become a routine procedure in clinical practice for evaluation of small bowel diseases (SBDs). This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic value of DBE in patients with suspected SBDs according to the patients' age and indications for the procedure.
methodsThe data of patients who underwent DBE at the endoscopy center of Changhai hospital between July 2013 and June 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. All features including demographic characteristics, indications, endoscopic findings, interventions and complications were collected.
resultsA total of 1291 consecutive patients who underwent 1531 DBE procedures (1375 diagnostic and 156 therapeutic) were included. The total diagnostic yield of DBE in cases of suspected SBDs was 58.9% (761/1291). The most common SBDs were Crohn's disease (CD) followed by tumors. The detection rates of CD and tumors by DBE were 18.3% (236/1291) and 12.7% (164/1291), respectively. The most frequent site of CD was the ileum (199/236, 84.3%), while that of tumors was the proximal small bowel (duodenum and jejunum, 115/164, 70.1%). In the young group (< 45 years), the majority of patients had CD, whereas tumors were the most common disease in the older group (≥ 45 years). The diagnostic yields for occult gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB) and abdominal pain were 57.3% and 52.4%, respectively. In patients with OGIB, the detection rate of tumor was higher, whereas that of CD was higher in patients with abdominal pain. Polypectomy and foreign body removal were the predominant endoscopic interventions. DBE-associated complications were reported for 14 procedures (0.9%), including 3 diagnostic procedures (0.2%) and 11 therapeutic procedures (7.1%).
conclusionDBE is a useful diagnostic tool for the investigation of SBDs, especially for CD and small bowel tumors. DBE is also a safe therapeutic procedure for polypectomy and foreign body removal.
