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

backgroundFewer studies have been conducted on the diagnostic value of capsule endoscopy, CT enterography and enteroscopy in suspected small bowel bleeding. This study aimed at analyzing the diagnostic and clinical value of capsule endoscopy, CT enterography and enteroscopy for suspected small bowel bleeding.

methodsThis retrospective study compared the diagnostic rate and consistency of findings among groups. In addition, diagnostic rates were compared between combined enteroscopy versus uncombined enteroscopy associated with capsule endoscopy or CT enterography, as well as the influencing factors of diagnostic outcomes. The complete enteroscopy rates and diagnostic rates were analyzed for the one-day enteroscopy group and the non-one-day enteroscopy group.

resultsThere was no significant difference in diagnostic rates between capsule endoscopy (n = 70) and CT enterography (n = 122) (χ

conclusionsEnteroscopy is the more reliable method of diagnosing suspected small bowel bleeding among enteroscopy, capsule endoscopy and CT enterography. Moreover, uncompleted enteroscopy combined with capsule endoscopy or CT enterography may not yet be a substitute for successful completion of docking enteroscopy in clinical practice.
