Retention of Small Bowel Capsule in a Patient With Remote Small Bowel Resection With a Normal CT Enterography and Patency Capsule Examination.
Article in Case reports in surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) uses an electronic small bowel capsule to transmit images of the small bowel to diagnose pathology. In patients at risk for capsule retention, the patency capsule, a radiopaque dissolvable capsule of the same size, may be used to predict that the small bowel capsule will pass through the patient. An abdominal radiograph or scanner is used to confirm passage of the patency capsule, predicting future passage with the small bowel capsule. If the patency capsule is retained in the small bowel, it will dissolve over time, relieving a potential obstruction. Patency capsules have been noted to be highly sensitive for detecting potential obstructing lesions and have a high negative predictive value for small bowel capsule retention. However, we describe a case and management of small bowel capsule retention occurring in a patient with a remote history of bowel resection for intussusception and normal small bowel demonstrated on CT enterography and a normal patency capsule examination.
