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 and aims: Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) is widely used in the detection of abnormalities in the small intestine. However, it remains challenging to correctly identify a limited number of possible abnormal images from tens of thousands of total images, and this impediment has limited expansion of the technology. More recently, artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been used in classifying VCE images from patients, but clinical-grade diagnostic accuracy (>99%) has not been achieved. Methods: This study proposes a system for the automatic classification of a number of categories of unbounded VCE images with high accuracy by means of a transfer learning approach using multiple convolutional neural networks (CNNs). With this new approach, it is not necessary to implement image segmentation; thus, the feature extraction becomes automatic, and the existing models can be fine-tuned to obtain specific classifiers. Results: More than 16,000 VCE GI images from normal individuals, including those with normal clean mucosa, the pylorus, the ileocecal valve, a reduced mucosal view due to luminal contents and lymphangiectasia (a normal variant), and patients with 5 pathologic states (angioectasia, bleeding, erosions, ulcers, and foreign bodies), were obtained from a publicly available data set. These were used in building, testing, and validating AI models for evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of our combined 17-CNN deep learning approach. Compared with a single CNN approach used by other research groups, our AI method, using 17 CNNs, achieved an overall diagnostic accuracy of 99.79%, with an accuracy of 100% for identifying bleeding and foreign bodies. The high accuracy was further shown in the confusion matrices, precision, recall, and F1 score. Conclusions: We have developed accurate AI deep learning models for unbounded VCE image classification of various medical conditions in medical practice.
