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
backgroundColorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has always been challenging for endoscopists, but the procedure can be facilitated after adequate exposure of submucosal layer and cutting line. We developed a traction method based on gravity for facilitating colorectal ESD, referred as magnetic bead-assisted ESD (MBA-ESD). This study aimed to compare the safety and effectiveness of MBA-ESD and conventional ESD for treating large superficial colorectal tumors.
methodsThis retrospective study included consecutive patients with large (≥ 20 mm in their maximal diameter) superficial colorectal tumors who underwent MBA-ESD or conventional ESD at our endoscopy center between June 2017 to January 2018. Each patient in the MBA-ESD group was matched to a patient in the conventional ESD group using propensity scores.
resultsThirteen patients in each group were matched for the analyses. The baseline characteristics were balanced after propensity matching. The incidence of overall complications was significantly lower in the matched MBA-ESD group (0% vs. 38.5%, P = 0.039), while similar rates of en bloc resection, R0 resection, curative resection, and tumor recurrence were noted. Although without statistic difference, dissection time and speed were improved when using MBA-ESD (33 min vs. 40 min, P = 0.111; and 21 mm
conclusionsMBA-ESD is a feasible, safe, and effective method for treating large superficial colorectal tumors. Further large, prospective and controlled studies are needed to fully assess this method.
