Submucosal endoscopic tumor resection for subepithelial tumors in the esophagus and cardia.

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
BACKGROUND AND STUDY
aimsResection of submucosal tumors by means of endoscopy has been reported using a variety of techniques, but cannot be performed safely in tumors originating from the muscularis propria. Using the submucosal tunnel created by the technique of peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM), we report the first series describing the new technique of submucosal endoscopic tumor resection (SET) for tumors of the esophagus and cardia. PATIENTS AND
methodsSET was attempted in nine consecutive patients with tumors (size >2cm) of either the esophagus or cardia with clinical indications for lesion removal. Following creation of a submucosal tunnel from 5 cm above the tumor, as described previously, the tumor was dissected from the overlying mucosa/submucosa and then carefully removed from the muscular layer using triangle-tip and insulated-tip knives. Following specimen retrieval through the tunnel, the orifice was closed by clips.
resultsOf the nine patients, two had tumors that were too large (60 mm and 75 mm, respectively) to allow safe removal due to loss of endoscopic overview. All remaining tumors (maximal tumor extension 12-30 mm) could be resected safely using this method. No complications occurred and follow-up was unremarkable. On histology, all tumors were resected completely (one gastrointestinal stromal tumor, five leiomyomas). The technique had to be modified in one patient with an aberrant pancreas.
conclusionsSET is a promising new technique for selected submucosal tumors in the esophagus and cardia up to a size of 4 cm and should be studied further.
