First prospective European study for the feasibility and safety of magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy in gastric mucosal abnormalities.
Article in World journal of gastroenterology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundWhile capsule endoscopy (CE) is the gold standard diagnostic method of detecting small bowel (SB) diseases and disorders, a novel magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (MCCE) system provides non-invasive evaluation of the gastric mucosal surface, which can be performed without sedation or discomfort. During standard SBCE, passive movement of the CE may cause areas of the complex anatomy of the gastric mucosa to remain unexplored, whereas the precision of MCCE capsule movements inside the stomach promises better visualization of the entire mucosa.
aimTo evaluate the Ankon MCCE system's feasibility, safety, and diagnostic yield in patients with gastric or SB disorders.
methodsOf outpatients who were referred for SBCE, 284 (male/female: 149/135) were prospectively enrolled and evaluated by MCCE. The stomach was examined in the supine, left, and right lateral decubitus positions without sedation. Next, all patients underwent a complete SBCE study protocol. The gastric mucosa was explored with the Ankon MCCE system with active magnetic control of the capsule endoscope in the stomach, applying three standardized pre-programmed computerized algorithms in combination with manual control of the magnetic movements.
resultsThe urea breath test revealed
conclusionMCCE is a feasible, safe diagnostic method for evaluating gastric mucosal lesions and is a promising non-invasive screening tool to decrease morbidity and mortality in upper gastro-intestinal diseases.
