Over-the-scope clip-assisted endoscopic full thickness resection: a video-based case series.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
backgroundIn the management of mucosal neoplasm and early cancer, therapeutic gastrointestinal endoscopy evolved from simply polypectomy, endoscopic mucosal resection, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), to endoscopic full thickness resection (EFTR). Full thickness clip closure followed by transmural resection mimics surgical principles. It is safe, effective, and technically less demanding compared to other techniques. Over-the-scope clip (OTSC)-assisted EFTR or OTSC-EFTR enables the endoscopists to manage difficult lesions.
methodsWe video recorded and report our 1-year single center experience of 12 consecutive EFTR cases since the dedicated OTSC-EFTR device was approved in the USA.
resultsWe demonstrate that OTSC-EFTR can be very useful to manage residual neoplastic tissue that cannot be removed during conventional mucosal resection due to deeper invasion, submucosal fibrosis, scaring from prior intervention, and appendiceal involvement. Caution should be used for EFTR of the ileocecal valve lesions.
conclusionWe propose that layered or stacked biopsy of the appendiceal stump after EFTR should be performed to rule out a positive residual base. Due to the limited size of the FTRD resection hood (13 mm internal diameter × 23 mm depth), for larger sessile adenomas in the colon, we propose a hybrid approach for complete removal: piecemeal EMR for tumor debulking followed by OTSC-EFTR to achieve R0 resection. We believe OTSC-EFTR offers safety and efficiency with very high success rate.
