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 a well-established diagnostic tool for examining the small bowel. Limited data exist on its use in infants. To our knowledge, we present the first detailed case of a successful PillCam®SB3-VCE performed in an 8-month-old infant weighing 7.5 kg with suspected small bowel bleeding following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The capsule was endoscopically placed into the duodenum without prior bowel cleansing or patency capsule testing. VCE identified bleeding in the terminal ileum and cecum. This case demonstrates that VCE can be safely performed even in very young, low-weight infants when clinically necessary. However, due to anatomical and physiological challenges, VCE should be carefully considered in infants and applied cautiously on a case-by-case basis.
