The Optimal Timing for Using Capsule Endoscopy for Patients with Gastrointestinal Bleeding.
Article in BioMed research international, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectivesCapsule endoscopy (CE) is a useful diagnostic modality for patients with occult gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. However, most previous studies utilizing CE have focused on techniques, patient characteristics, safety and feasibility, and case analyses. Studies evaluating the optimal timing for utilizing CE, which is an essential factor for obtaining a better diagnostic yield, remain scarce in the literature. Considering that a CE examination is expensive, we, therefore, undertook this study to evaluate, analyze, and determine the optimal time for performing CE in patients with occult GI bleeding.
methodsSeventy-five patients were initially recruited, but finally, sixty patients with significant GI bleeding with an unknown etiology after traditional endoscopic examinations were included in the study. All data were collected from a local hospital in Taiwan, encompassing the period from 2010 to 2018. The relationship between the timing of CE examination and the diagnostic correction rate (DCR) was then analyzed statistically.
resultsMore female (58.3%) and older adult (68.3%) patients were in our study. Based on the four analytical models used in the study, the results showed that the most optimal time to perform CE is within three days after GI bleeding occurs.
