Combined endoscopic submucosal dissection and transanal minimally invasive surgery for the management of lower rectal adenoma extending above the dentate line: A case report.

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
rationaleMinimally invasive surgery is used to treat early colorectal tumors. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for resection of tumors extending above the dentate line (particularly those with concomitant hemorrhoids) is technically difficult. We present a case of a patient with a lower rectal adenoma extending above the dentate line, which underwent combined ESD and transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) to achieve accurate excision and prevent complications. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 68-year-old man with a history of blood in stool over 2 to 3 years underwent colonoscopy, which revealed an adenoma measuring 3 cm in size in the lower rectum extending above the dentate line. The part extending above the dentate line was a type Is lesion and that of oral side was a type IIa lesion. Histopathologically, the lesion was diagnosed as a low-grade intramucosal tubulovillous adenoma. DIAGNOSIS: Intramucosal low-grade adenoma with sessile polyp (type Is).
interventionsThe cranial portion of the lesion was dissected via ESD and the anal portion via TAMIS with minimal bleeding. En bloc resection of the tumor was performed. OUTCOMES: His postoperative period was uneventful, and he was discharged and regularly followed-up. LESSONS: Combined ESD and TAMIS is effective in patients with benign and early neoplastic lesions of the anorectum extending above the dentate line with concomitant hemorrhoids and can prevent complications.
