Reinforced education by short message service improves the quality of bowel preparation for colonoscopy.
Synthesis in International journal of colorectal disease, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the effect of reinforced education (RE) by short message service (SMS) on the bowel preparation quality of patients undergoing colonoscopy.
methodsRandomized controlled trials (RCTs), conducted on the effect of RE by SMS on bowel preparation for colonoscopy from inception to November 1, 2021, were queried from databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and EMBASE. After extracting the data, meta-analysis was conducted using Review Manager Software version 5.3.
resultsA total of seven RCTs with 5889 patients were subjected to meta-analysis. The rate of adequate bowel preparation in the SMS group (81.7%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (75.7%) (RR: 1.10, 95% CI: 1.03-1.17, p < 0.01). Four studies suggested that RE by SMS significantly reduced the non-attendance rate of patients for scheduled colonoscopy (RR: 0.74, 95% CI: 0.56-0.99, p < 0.05).
conclusionRE by SMS for patients undergoing colonoscopy can significantly improve the quality of bowel preparation and decrease the non-attendance rate of patients for scheduled colonoscopy.
