Risk factors of incomplete balloon-assisted enteroscopy with an analysis of 943 patients: a retrospective study.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Background: Balloon-assisted enteroscopy (BAE) plays an important role in the diagnosis and therapy of small bowel diseases. Complete enteroscopy is considered an objective quality indicator of enteroscopy. However, there are limited studies on the factors associated with complete BAE. This study aimed to determine the factors affecting complete BAE. Methods: All adult patients with indications for BAE were investigated at a tertiary medical center from January 2019 to December 2022. Their medical records and BAE procedure-associated data were reviewed and analyzed. Risk factors of incomplete enteroscopy were investigated using univariate analysis and multivariable logistic regression analysis. Results: A total of 943 patients meeting the eligibility criteria were analyzed. Among these, 558 patients achieved complete enteroscopy. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE) [odds ratio (OR) = 2.35, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.79-3.09, Conclusion: This retrospective study identified SBE, male sex, intestinal surgery, and BMI ≥ 28 kg/m
