1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

aimsEndoscopic treatment of malignant colorectal polyps is often challenging, especially for early rectal cancer (ERC) localized close to the dentate line. Conversely, the surgical approach may result in temporary or definitive stoma and in frequent post-surgical complications. The Full-Thickness Resection Device (FTRD PATIENTS AND

methodsSix consecutive patients with incomplete endoscopic resection of T1-ERC were treated with the FTRD and their long-term outcomes were evaluated based on a detailed clinical and instrumental assessment.

resultsThe endoscopic en bloc full-thickness resection was technically feasible in all patients. The histopathologic analysis showed a complete endoscopic resection in all cases, and a full-thickness excision in four. Neither complications, nor disease recurrence were observed during the 1-year follow-up period.

conclusionsThe FTRD System is a promising tool for treating ERC featuring a residual risk of disease recurrence after incomplete endoscopic mucosal resection in patients unfit for surgery or refusing a surgical approach.
