Gel immersion endoscopic submucosal dissection: clinical experience with 13 cases of superficial esophageal cancer.
Article in Endoscopy international open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Esophageal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of tumors located on the gravity side is technically challenging. Given that gel immersion ESD (GIESD) is performed by immersing lesions in gel, we hypothesized that it could be used to eliminate the disadvantage associated with submerging the gravity side. Here, we performed GIESD using VISCOCLEAR for superficial esophageal cancer on the gravity side of the esophagus, with monopolar devices. This study aimed to evaluate the short-term outcomes of GIESD for superficial esophageal cancer. Fifteen patients with 16 superficial esophageal cancers underwent GIESD by a single operator, and 13 cases were evaluated. All patients were male, and GIESD was performed in the middle (12/13, 92.3 %) and lower (1/13, 7.7 %) thoracic esophagus. The lesions were located on the left (7/13, 53.8 %), posterior (5/13, 38.5 %), and right (1/13, 7.7 %) esophageal walls. The median procedure time was 27 minutes (interquartile range [IQR], 14-68), and the median dissection speed was 20 mm
