Efficacy of a new traction method using ring-shaped thread for endoscopic submucosal dissection in the pharynx.
Article in Esophagus : official journal of the Japan Esophageal Society, 2023. 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
backgroundEndoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a minimally invasive treatment for pharyngeal cancers. However, pharyngeal ESD is sometimes technically challenging because of the narrow and complex space in which to work. Traction is important to complete the procedure efficiently. Here, we report the technical details and efficacy of a new traction method for pharyngeal ESD using ring-shaped thread and grasping forceps.
methodsWe analyzed pharyngeal ESD performed between January 2016 and March 2021 at our Institute. We designated cases resected using ring-shaped threads "Group R" and those resected without ring-shaped threads as conventional "Group C", and compared the technical outcomes between them. Multivariate analysis and the inverse probability treatment weighting (IPTW) method using propensity scores were adjusted by confounding variables.
resultsWe analyzed 89 lesions from 68 patients, of which 46 were in Group R and 43 in Group C. Median procedure time and median dissection speed were significantly shorter in Group R than C (37 min vs. 55 min, and 16.0 mm
conclusionsThe traction method using ring-shaped thread increases the efficiency of pharyngeal ESD. This simple new traction method should be a useful option for pharyngeal ESD.
