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

backgroundEndoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a challenging procedure for the removal of colorectal tumors, especially tumors located in the right colon. The use of traction could make this procedure technically easier and reduce procedure times and complication rates. In this study, we demonstrated the feasibility and utility of a traction technique utilizing an endoscopic snare through an overtube, a double-balloon endolumenal interventional platform (DEIP) in a porcine colorectal model.

methodsA total of 120 procedures were performed using three different techniques: standard ESD technique (STD), ESD with DEIP (DEIP alone), and ESD with DEIP and a snare (DEIP + Snare). The snare was passed inside the overtube and used as a grasper on the tissue to provide traction. Lesions 3 or 4 cm in diameter were removed with a 5 mm margin from the anterior and posterior walls of the proximal Transverse Colon, the Hepatic Flexure, and the posterior wall of the Cecum. The outcomes measured included procedure times and the number of muscularis propria injuries.

resultsThe DEIP + Snare group showed significantly shorter total procedure and submucosal dissection times for lesions in all locations (median 28.1 min (DEIP + Snare, n = 32) vs 39.8 (STD, n = 32) vs 39.7 (DEIP alone, n = 32); 7.5 min vs 25.3 vs 25.1) and had fewer muscularis propria injuries (median 0 [range 0-2] vs 2 [0-7] vs 1 [0-6]) than the two other groups. Larger lesions (4 cm) were successfully removed by regrasping the tissue in DEIP + Snare group, which showed significantly shorter total procedure time [31.4 min (DEIP + Snare, n = 8) vs 40.1 (STD, n = 8) vs 45.6 (DEIP alone, n = 8)] and submucosal dissection time (12.3 min vs 27.6 vs 29.1) than the two other groups.

conclusionsESD traction technique with an endolumenal platform and snare enables faster removal of large polyps in the right colon with fewer injuries than standard methods of ESD.
