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 and study aims: Inadequate bowel preparation (BP) negatively affects diagnostic performance of colonoscopy. Most trials assessing adequacy of bowel preparation regimens have excluded patients affected by chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially patients on dialysis. This study aimed to assess the impact of dialysis on BP quality and adenoma detection rate (ADR) and identify factors related to quality of BP. Patients and methods: We retrospectively compared patient-specific, preparation-specific (preparation solution, preparation regimen (split-dose vs. 1-day preparation, outpatient preparation), and colonoscopy-specific data (indication, Boston Bowel Preparation Score [BBPS], sedation type, presence of adenoma or cancer) between 79 patients on dialysis and 158 matched controls. Adequate BP was defined as a BBPS score ≧2 in every colonic segment. Significant contributors to BP were assessed by logistic regression. Results: Despite matching, dialysis patients were significantly older (69.0 ± 11.9 vs 64.2 ± 14.6, Conclusions: Safe and adequate BP is achievable in dialysis patients. Bowel preparation regimen rather than treatment with dialysis influences BP quality. Split-dose preparation remains the most important determinant of adequate BP for colonoscopy, irrespective of regimen.
