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
Background and Aim: Snare resection of nonlifting colonic lesions often requires supplemental techniques. We compared the success rates of neoplasia eradication using hot avulsion and argon plasma coagulation in colonic polyps when complete snare polypectomy had failed. Methods: Polyps that were not completely resectable by snare polypectomy were randomized to argon plasma coagulation or hot avulsion for completion of resection. Argon plasma coagulation was delivered using a forward shooting catheter, using a nontouch technique (flow 1.2 L, 35 watts). Hot avulsion was performed by grasping the neoplastic tissue with hot biopsy forceps and applying traction away from the bowel wall while using EndoCut I or soft coagulation for avulsion. Surveillance colonoscopies were performed at 6, 12, and 18 months. Results: From November 2013 to July 2017, 59 patients were randomized to argon plasma coagulation (28) or hot avulsion (31). The median age was 69 (60-75), with 46% being female. The median residual tissue size was 10 mm (6-12). The residual adenoma rate at 6 months (hot avulsion 6% Conclusion: Both hot avulsion and argon plasma coagulation are effective and safe modalities to complete resection of non-ensnarable colonic polyps.
