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

Digestive endoscopy has been widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of digestive diseases. However, the anatomical complexity of specific lesions increases the difficulty of these operations, resulting in complications or treatment failure. Although various strategies, such as floss traction and the application of transparent caps, have been explored, their effectiveness remains limited due to individual differences in patients' anatomical characteristics. The multibending (MB) endoscope represents a significant innovation as it is a conventional endoscope with an additional bending section and dual channels. Currently, this technology has been applied in gastroscopy, duodenoscopy and peroral cholangioscopy. The bending part of the endoscope facilitates its passage into difficult-to-reach anatomical regions and improves operating angles, thereby enhancing surgical precision and efficiency while reducing complication rates. Furthermore, the dual-channel design accelerates procedural workflows and increases operational versatility. This innovation is poised to transform endoscopic diagnosis and treatment of digestive system diseases. Since the MB endoscope is relatively new, further research is needed to comprehensively explore its benefits for and potential in endoscopic diagnosis and treatment. The aim of this review is to summarize the current research, indications, and future directions of MB endoscope.
