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 an effective procedure to resect large superficial gastrointestinal neoplasms. In gastric ESD, several studies showed the relationship between postoperative abdominal symptoms and endoscopic treatment. However, the influence of colorectal ESD on abdominal symptoms after treatment is still unknown. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first prospective multicenter study performed to investigate the impact of colorectal ESD on postoperative abdominal symptoms. This study aimed to clarify the association between change of abdominal symptoms and ESD.

methodsThis study was a prospective multicenter observational trial that enrolled 141 out of 171 patients who underwent colorectal ESD and answered the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) questionnaire from March 2015 to August 2019. We evaluated abdominal symptoms in the patients using the GSRS questionnaire before ESD and a few weeks after ESD.

resultsComparing the GSRS before and after ESD, overall scores changed from 1.58 ± 0.58 to 1.48 ± 0.48, and the five subscales (reflux syndrome, abdominal pain, indigestion syndrome, diarrhea syndrome, and constipation syndrome) were slightly improved. Overall scores, indigestion syndrome, and constipation syndrome were statistically significantly different before and after ESD (P < 0.05).

conclusionsIn GSRS, a score of ≥ 3 is often treated as a clinically significant symptom. Therefore, our findings indicated that there was no clinically significant difference. For this reason, colorectal ESD does not affect postoperative abdominal symptoms and is considered a minimally invasive treatment. The analysis of the impact of colon ESD on gastrointestinal symptoms UMIN000016914.
