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 and Aims: Evidence regarding the ideal endoscopy sequence is inconclusive in patients undergoing same-day bidirectional endoscopy (BDE). Methods: Adults undergoing endoscopy with moderate sedation were randomized to either colonoscopy first (C-E) or EGD first (E-C) under monitored anesthesia care and bispectral index (BIS) monitoring. The primary endpoint was time to recovery from sedation. Secondary endpoints were total amount of sedative, time in deep sedation (defined as BIS <60), patient and endoscopist satisfaction, and adverse events. Patients were contacted the following day for assessment of postdischarge events including delayed recovery and effects on cognitive function and memory. Results: One hundred twenty consecutive patients were enrolled (60 per arm). Baseline characteristics were similar. There was no difference between the C-E and E-C groups in time to recovery (20.2 ± 8.8 minutes vs 17.9 ± 8.8 minutes), dose of propofol (219.9 ± 79.6 mg vs 217.6 ± 79.1 mg), total time spent in deep sedation (7.2 ± 6.6 minutes vs 9.5 ± 7.9 minutes), patient and endoscopist satisfaction, adenoma detection rate (38.3% vs 31.7%, Conclusions: There are no clinically significant differences between procedural sequences in same-day BDE. Decisions regarding the preferred sequence may be individualized, taking into consideration procedural yield, individual risk, and other factors such as the potential for aerosol generation and staff exposure.
