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

Background: Delayed upper gastrointestinal transit during small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) can lead to incomplete or failed examinations but can be treated by endoscopic-assisted intervention (EAI). The aim of this study was to investigate the latest possible timing of EAI. Methods: Patients who underwent SBCE and received EAI between July 2007 and December 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. A novel T-value was developed that accounted for the varied battery life of different generations of PillCam when determining the latest possible timing of EAI, where T is calculated as EAI time/[minimum battery life of the PillCam minus small bowel transit time (6 h)] × 100%. Patients were divided into two groups based on the cut-off value of the receiver operating characteristic curve: early EAI (group A, T < 76.3%) and late EAI (group B, T ≥ 76.3%). The primary outcome was the completion rate (CR), and the secondary outcome was the detection rate. The latest possible timing of EAI (h) was calculated according to the T-value formula and further verified in our recent data set. Results: This study included 108 patients. The CR was significantly higher in group A than in group B (79.2% vs 58.2%; Conclusions: Early EAI was associated with higher CR. The latest possible timing of EAI was 1.5 h for PillCam SB1 and 4.6 h for PillCam SB2/3 from the start of the examination.
