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

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into capsule endoscopy is transforming gastrointestinal diagnostics by enhancing lesion detection and optimizing reading efficiency. This review focuses on the clinical applications of commercially available AI-powered capsule endoscopy systems, particularly for small bowel evaluation. Recent clinical trials and observational studies are analyzed to assess the diagnostic performance, practical benefits, and limitations of these systems. Additionally, key challenges related to standardization, data quality, and clinical validation are discussed. Currently available AI systems significantly reduce reading times and demonstrate high detection capabilities, depending on the algorithm and device used. However, a substantial number of lesions remain undetected, preventing full reliance on these tools. Future advancements must focus on improving detection rates and validating the clinical relevance of missed lesions. Additionally, standardizing AI algorithms across different capsule systems is essential to ensure consistency, reliability, and broader clinical adoption. Establishing homologation frameworks will be key to achieving uniform performance and seamless integration into routine practice.
