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

backgroundThe clipping method is widely used in endoscopic hemostasis for colonic diverticular hemorrhage. Recently, rebleeding was shown to be less common in ligation therapy than in clipping. Ligation methods include endoscopic band ligation (EBL) and endoscopic detachable snare ligation (EDSL). No studies have compared procedure times for EBL and EDSL. The present study aimed to compare EDSL and EBL in terms of procedure time.

methodsIn this single-center retrospective observational cohort study, we evaluated the data of 39 patients who underwent EBL or EDSL for colonic diverticular hemorrhage. The primary and secondary outcomes measured were the total procedure time and early rebleeding rate, respectively.

resultsAmong the 39 patients included in the study, 18 underwent EBL, and 21 underwent EDSL for hemostasis. The median total pro- cedure times for the EBL and EDSL groups were 50 (range, 30-80) minutes and 35 (range, 18-55) minutes, respectively, demonstrating that the total colonoscopy time was significantly shorter in the EDSL group (P < .001). The early rebleeding rate was 11.1% (2/18) in the EBL group and 4.8% (1/21) in the EDSL group (P = .246).

conclusionImportant improvements in procedure time were achieved in the EDSL group. Based on our results, we believe that EDSL may reduce patient and endoscopist burden.
