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

Small bowel angioectasias (SBA) are vascular malformations consisting of thin-walled, dilated capillaries located in the gastrointestinal mucosa. They are responsible for 10% of all causes of gastrointestinal bleeding and 60% of small bowel bleeding pathologies. The diagnosis and management of SBA depend upon bleeding acuity, patient stability and patient characteristics. Small bowel capsule endoscopy is a relatively noninvasive diagnostic approach ideal for non-obstructed and hemodynamically stable patients. It is superior to computed tomography scans in visualizing mucosal lesions, such as angioectasias, as it provides mucosal views. Management of these lesions will depend on the patient's clinical condition and associated comorbidities, and very often consists of medical and/or endoscopic treatment delivered through small bowel enteroscopy.
