Single-balloon enteroscopy in management of small-bowel disorders.
Article in Indian journal of gastroenterology : official journal of the Indian Society of Gastroenterology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundDevice-assisted enteroscopy including single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE) allows direct visualization of the small bowel and has good safety and efficacy in experienced hands. Our study is aimed to share our single-centre experience of SBE in diagnosing and treating small-bowel disorders.
methodsWe reviewed the prospectively collected data (from December 2016 to December 2019) of 180 consecutive anterograde and/or retrograde procedures. Analysis of baseline characteristics, endoscopic findings, and diagnostic and therapeutic rates was done.
resultsSBE was done in 158 patients with a median age of 55 years (range, 13-94 years) for suspected small-bowel lesions. Dual enteroscopy (anterograde plus retrograde) was done in 22 patients (13.92%). The indication for the procedure was obscure gastrointestinal bleeding in 129 (71.66%), chronic unexplained abdominal pain in 20 (11.11%), suspected small-bowel abnormality in the form of narrowing and/or mass on imaging in 10 (5.5%), chronic diarrhea in 9 (5%), unexplained iron deficiency anemia in 9 (5%), and retained capsule in 2 (1.11%). The most common finding was ulcer, which was noted in 45 (25%) patients followed by stricture in 8 (4.44%) and both ulcers and strictures in 6 (3.33%) patients. SBE was normal in 61 (33.88%) patients. SBE gave a diagnosis in 66.11% while in 28.43% cases, therapeutic intervention was done. Minor complications like bleeding were noted in 3 patients and mild acute pancreatitis in 2 patients. Jejunal perforation requiring surgical intervention was noted in 1 patient.
conclusionSBE is a safe and effective procedure in diagnosing and treating small-bowel diseases.
