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

backgroundEfficient bowel cleansing is essential for a successful colonoscopy, but the ideal cleansing agent, volume, and pharmaceutical dosage form have yet to be determined. Small-volume cleansers enhance patient compliance.

aimTo compare the bowel cleansing efficacy of 32-tablet sodium phosphate (Quiklean

methodsThis multicenter, randomized, parallel-group, noninferiority clinical trial enrolled 472 outpatients, randomized 456 subjects, and scheduled 442 subjects to undergo colonoscopy (Quiklean

resultsSuccess rates (Excellent + Good) of the bowel cleansing quality by Aronchick Scale were 98.6% (
