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

backgroundSubmucosal tunneling endoscopic resection (STER) and endoscopic submucosal excavation (ESE) were recently introduced to cure submucosal tumors (SMTs) originating from the muscularis propria (MP) layer. This study aimed to compare clinical performance and safety of STER and ESE in treating esophageal SMTs originating from the MP layer.

methodsFrom January 2011 to December 2017, retrospective data collection and follow-up were applied for all STER or ESE cases with esophageal SMTs originating from the MP layer in our endoscopy center, including clinical characteristics, procedure success, efficacy, and adverse events. Subgroup analysis was further done based on tumor size and origin.

results90 STER and 77 ESE were enrolled in this study. There were no significant difference for  patient characteristics, procedure performance, and complications for ESE and STER intervention (P > 0.05). STER was faster than ESE (3.90 mm

conclusionsBoth STER and ESE were effective for treating esophageal SMTs originating from the MP layer. STER might be better due to its faster operation, less complications, and shorter hospitalization.
