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.

Abstract

Background/Aims: Conventional oral sulfate tablets (OSTs) and mini-OSTs have gained popularity for bowel preparation in South Korea. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of mini S-OSTs, which have fewer tablets and include simethicone compared to the mini-OSTs. Methods: This was a prospective, randomized, investigator-blinded, multicenter, and noninferior phase 3 trial conducted between August 2023 and January 2024. The efficacy, safety, and tolerability were compared among a mini S-OST split dose group, mini S-OST non-split dose group and conventional OST group. To evaluate the occurrence of gastric mucosal lesions, gastroscopy was also performed. Results: High-quality preparation was achieved in the mini S-OST split dose group and conventional OST group according to both the full analysis set and per-protocol set analyses, without significant differences. Tolerability metrics were more favorable in the mini-OST group. The hematin content tended to decrease and the number of erosions was reduced in the mini S-OST split dose group compared with the conventional OST group according to the gastroscopy results. Adverse events were comparable between the conventional OST and mini S-OST split dose groups. The mini S-OST non-split dose group showed no difference in overall successful cleaning, but the proportion of high-quality cleaning in the ascending colon was lower than that in the mini S-OST split dose group and conventional OST group. Conclusions: Compared with conventional OST, the mini S-OST split dose showed excellent efficacy, comparable safety and tolerability, with less gastric injury (ClinicalTrial.gov identifier NCT06287606).
