Retained capsule in covert strictures at the stoma closure site of an ileal pouch, retrieved following endoscopic strictureplasty via retrograde enteroscopy: a case report.
Article in iGIE : innovation, investigation and insights, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) is an important tool to evaluate small-bowel involvement in inflammatory bowel disease. However, the risk of capsule retention increases in the presence of strictures or obstruction. In patients with total proctocolectomy and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA), the use of VCE is challenging because of the surgically altered anatomy and the common presence of strictures. A 46-year-old man with a history of ulcerative colitis and total proctocolectomy with IPAA underwent VCE to assess persistent, unexplained anemia, which impaired his training for a marathon. The capsule was retained at a high stoma closure site with 2 severe strictures undetected on magnetic resonance imaging and previous routine pouchoscopy. Endoscopic balloon dilation and endoscopic strictureplasty were performed with eventual retrieval of the capsule via retrograde enteroscopy. A thorough endoscopic evaluation of the ileal pouch, including the stoma closure site, is crucial prior to VCE.
