Endoscopic intermuscular dissection (EID) for removing early rectal cancers and benign fibrotic rectal lesions.
Article in Techniques in coloproctology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
In the current era of screening colonoscopy and increasing incidence of early rectal cancer, interventional endoscopy moves toward resections in deeper planes than the submucosal layer. Several reports support the use of endoscopic intermuscular dissection (EID) instead of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for the removal of deeply invasive rectal submucosal cancers. The resection plane into the intermuscular space, the space between the longitudinal (external) and circular (internal) muscle layer, allows radical removal of rectal invasive submucosal cancers. Furthermore, the technique offers the potential for dissection of scarred and severe fibrotic lesions in the rectum by cutting deeper and performing a partial myectomy avoiding the narrow submucosal space. We present 23 cases of EIDs both for deeply invasive rectal cancers and benign rectal lesions. This is the first report in the literature of EID resections for malignant and benign disease, including cases of severely fibrotic rectal lesions.
