Abstract

This consensus statement from the members of the American Neurogastroenterology and Motility Society and the Society of Nuclear Medicine recommends a standardized method for measuring gastric emptying (GE) by scintigraphy. A low-fat, egg-white meal with imaging at 0, 1, 2, and 4 h after meal ingestion, as described by a published multicenter protocol, provides standardized information about normal and delayed GE. Adoption of this standardized protocol will resolve the lack of uniformity of testing, add reliability and credibility to the results, and improve the clinical utility of the GE test.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The American Neurogastroenterology and Motility Society and the Society of Nuclear Medicine published a consensus standard for gastric emptying studies that includes standardization of diet and a 4-hour duration.

    “The American Neurogastroenterology and Motility Society and the Society of Nuclear Medicine published a consensus standard for gastric emptying studies that include standardization of diet and appropriate duration of the study (4 hours).”
  • Capsule endoscopy does not replace radiolabeled scintigraphy, which remains the reference standard for measuring gastric emptying time.

    “Another key limitation is that although capsule endoscopy allows for direct comparisons with orally administered solid dosage forms and provides complete lower GI transit times, it does not replace radiolabeled scintigraphy studies, which remain the reference standard for measuring gastric emptying time.17”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
