Magnetically guided gastric capsule endoscopy: a review and new developments.
Review in Clinical endoscopy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Since 2001, capsule endoscopy has been the primary test used to diagnose small-intestinal diseases. However, video capsule endoscopy of the stomach was considered impractical because visualizing the entire stomach was deemed impossible and would require a steerable capsule. Magnetically controlled gastric capsule endoscopy has been increasingly used for the diagnosis of gastric diseases, with significant developments in China. This noninvasive, hygienic, and comfortable method has gained popularity as an alternative to traditional electronic gastroscopy owing to its disposable nature and recent hardware upgrades (resolution, brightness, and field of view). Important steps forward with artificial intelligence and robots allow for the automated detection and characterization of gastric lesions. As it was restricted in China, questions have been raised about its cost-effectiveness worldwide, particularly in countries where early gastric cancer is not a priority. In this paper, I review the initial trials with this innovative capsule and the important technical updates in the last 5 years: robots for capsule guidance and artificial intelligence for the detection and characterization of gastric lesions.
