Feasibility and safety of a cable transmission magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy system for examination of the human upper digestive tract.
Article in Saudi medical journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesTo evaluate the safety and feasibility of the cable-transmitted, magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (CT-MCCE) system for examining the esophagus and stomach.
methodsA pilot study was carried out at the endoscopy facility of Peking University First Hospital; 30 volunteers were enrolled between September and November 2022. All participants were instructed to swallow the CT-MCCE capsule. An external magnetic robot arm was utilized to manipulate the capsule endoscope with string-facilitated control of the endoscope. This study assessed gastric preparation, safety, maneuverability, and mucosal visualization.
resultsThe participants exhibited favorable reactions to the gastric preparation and examination, with no reported adverse effects, and the average duration of the gastric examination was 29.5±6.63 minutes. The gastric cavity cleanliness assessment revealed a good rating in 25 participants (83.3%) and a moderate rating in 5 participants (11.8%). TheCT-MCCE demonstrated good maneuverability in all 30 subjects (100%).The analysis of visualization indicated that more than 75% of the gastric mucosa was discerned in 79.4% of the participants (27 individuals), whereas 50% to 75% was visualized in 20.6% of the participants (7 individuals).
conclusionThis study substantiates the feasibility and safety of employing magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy with cable transmission for the evaluation of human stomach and esophagus.
