Submucosal resection via a transanal approach for treatment of epithelial rectal tumors - a multicenter study.
Article in Veterinary surgery : VS, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveTo report complications and long-term outcomes after submucosal resections of benign and malignant epithelial rectal masses. STUDY
designRetrospective multicentric study. SAMPLE POPULATION: Medical records of 93 dogs at 7 referral hospitals.
methodsRecords were reviewed for surgical time, diagnosis, margins, complications, and recurrences. Survival of dogs was evaluated based on tumor types, categorized as benign, carcinoma in situ, and carcinoma. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Cox proportional hazards analysis were used to determine the association of a range of variables with recurrence and survival time.
resultsDuration of follow up was 708 days (range, 25-4383). Twenty-seven dogs (29%) developed complications. Recurrence was identified in 20/93 (21%), with 12/20 recurrent masses treated with repeat submucosal resection. Median survival was not reached in any group. The 1-,2-, 5-year survival rates for carcinomas were 95%, 89%, and 73% respectively. However, overall survival was longer for benign tumors than carcinomas (P = .001). Recurrence was more likely when complications (P = .032) or incomplete margins (P = .023) were present. Recurrence was associated with an increased risk of death (P = .046).
conclusionSubmucosal resection of both benign and malignant rectal masses was associated with a low rate of severe complications and prolonged survival in the 93 dogs described here. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Submucosal resection is a suitable technique for resection of selected rectal masses.
