Feasibility and accuracy of continuous intraabdominal pressure monitoring with a capsular device in human pilot trial.
Article in World journal of emergency surgery : WJES, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundIntrabdominal pressure (IAP) is an important parameter. Elevated IAP can reduce visceral perfusion, lead to intraabdominal hypertension, and result in life-threatening abdominal compartment syndrome. While ingestible capsular devices have been used for various abdominal diagnoses, their application in continuous IAP monitoring remains unproven.
methodWe conducted a prospective clinical trial to evaluate the feasibility of IAP measurement using a digital capsule PressureDOT, an ingestible capsule equipped with wireless transmission capability and a pressure sensor, then compared its reliability with conventional intravesical method. Patients undergoing laparoscopic or robotic surgeries were recruited. During surgery, we created pneumoperitoneum by inflating CO2 into the peritoneal cavity and IAP was simultaneously monitored using both the ingestible capsules and intravesical measurements from Foley catheter. We assessed the feasibility of signal transmission and the accuracy of pressure measurements.
resultsSix patients were enrolled in this pilot study. No adverse events were reported, and the average first-intake time was within 24 h. All capsules were successfully expelled, with an average excretion time of 81 h. In the summarized data, the mean IAPdot is 0.6 mmHg lower than the IAPivp, with a standard deviation of 1.68 mmHg. However, capsule measurements showed excellent correlation with intravesical IAP measurements, with an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.916 (95% CI: 0.8821-0.9320).
conclusionOur study demonstrates the feasibility and safety of using digital capsules for continuous IAP monitoring, providing the agreement between IAP measurements from digital capsules and conventional intravesical measurement within a near-normal pressure.
