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 purposeSubmucosal tunneling endoscopic resection (STER) was initially used to remove submucosal tumors (SMTs) located at the esophagus and cardia; only few researchers have reported the feasibility of STER for gastric SMTs beyond cardia due to the technical difficulty, and little is known about the comparison of STER for cardia and non-cardia gastric SMTs. The purpose was to compare the feasibility and efficacy of STER for cardia and non-cardia gastric SMTs, as well as to explore the risk factors for failure of en bloc resection.

methodsWe retrospectively collected the clinical data about patients with gastric SMTs who received STER at our hospital from June 2012 to June 2018. Demographics, tumor size, procedure-related parameters, complications, hospital stay, and follow-up data were compared between cardia and non-cardia SMTs. And multivariate analyses were conducted to look for the risk factors for failure of en bloc resection.

resultsA total of 46 SMTs were removed, and 25 of them were located at cardia, while the other 21 at non-cardia position. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of gender, age, tumor size, en bloc resection rate, operation time, complications, and hospital stay (p > 0.05). No recurrence was noticed in all the cases. Multivariate analyses revealed that irregular shape was an independent risk factor for failure of en bloc resection.

conclusionSTER is feasible for both cardia and non-cardia gastric SMTs, and the efficacy between cardia and non-cardia location is comparable. Irregular shape was an independent risk factor for failure of en bloc resection.
