Purely endoscopic appendectomy.
Article in VideoGIE : an official video journal of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Video 1Submucosal nodule in the cecum. After submucosal injection, a circumferential incision of the mucosa surrounding the lesion is performed with DualKnife (Olympus America, Center Valley, Pa, USA). The fore-balloon of the double-balloon endoluminal interventional platform (DBEIP) is deployed and the edges of the circumferential incision are attached with 2 endoscopic clips to the long suture-loop mounted on the fore-balloon of the DBEIP. The fore-balloon is retracted in anal direction, pulling the lesion into the cecum. Careful endoscopic submucosal dissection is performed with DualKnife and HookKnife (Olympus America). Dissection is markedly facilitated by traction and continued until the entire appendix is pulled into the cecum. The tip of the appendix is separated from surrounding tissues, resulting in a full-thickness cecal wall defect. The suture-loop holding the resected appendix is cut with LoopCutter (Olympus America). The resected appendix is removed through DBEIP and the Overstitch endoscopic suturing device (Apollo Endosurgery, Austin, Tex, USA) is advanced into the cecum. The full-thickness defect in the cecal wall is completely closed with 2 continuous sutures. The final view demonstrates the entire resected appendix.
