Hot snare polypectomy versus endoscopic mucosal resection for small colorectal polyps: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Surgical endoscopy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02239536 (Hot Snare Polypectomy Vs. Hot Snare Polypectomy After Saline Injection for the Complete Resection of Neoplastic Colorectal Polyps), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
aimsThis study was performed to compare endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) with hot snare polypectomy (HSP) in terms of the complete resection rate and the incidence of adverse events for resecting small (5-10 mm) colorectal polyps.
methodsSmall colorectal polyps (5-10 mm) with neoplastic features were randomly allocated to either the HSP or EMR group. A submucosal injection was performed prior to hot snaring in the EMR group only. Complete resection was defined as the absence of neoplastic tissue from two additional biopsies of the polypectomy site. R0 resection was defined as the absence of neoplastic tissue at the margin of the resected specimen.
resultsA total of 362 colon polyps from 272 patients were included, and 167 polyps in the HSP group and 155 polyps in the EMR group were analyzed. Between the polypectomy techniques, there was no significant difference in the complete resection rates, which were 96.4% (161/167) in the HSP group and 95.5% (148/155) in the EMR group (P = 0.67). The R0 resection rate in the HSP and EMR groups was significantly different, with 49.7% (83/167) and 74.8% (116/155), respectively (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse events between the two groups.
conclusionsThe complete resection rates for small (5-10 mm) polyps were not different between HSP and EMR. TRIAL REGISTRY: ClincialTrials.gov number NCT02239536.
