Opioid use is associated with incomplete capsule endoscopy examinations: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
backgroundCapsule endoscopy (CE) is a non-invasive imaging modality designed to evaluate various small bowel pathologies. Failure to reach the cecum within the battery lifespan, termed incomplete examination, may result in inadequate testing and possibly delayed therapy. Several studies have attempted to evaluate the association between CE completion and opioid use. However, their results are conflicting. The aim of this meta-analysis is to evaluate the previously published literature on the association between opioid use and CE completion.
methodsWe performed a comprehensive literature search in PubMed, PubMed Central, Embase, and ScienceDirect databases from inception through June 1, 2018, to identify all studies that evaluated the association between CE completion and opioid use. We included studies that presented an odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) or presented the data sufficient to calculate the OR with a 95% CI. Statistical analysis was performed using the comprehensive meta-analysis (CMA), version 3 software.
resultsFive studies with a total of 1,614 patients undergoing CE in the inpatient (IP) and outpatient (OP) setting were included in this study, 349 of which had an incomplete CE (21.6%). The pooled OR for CE completion is 0.50 (95% CI: 0.38-0.66, I
conclusionsOur results indicate that patients on opioids are significantly less likely to have a complete CE examination compared to non-users. To our knowledge, this study represents the first meta-analysis to assess this association.
