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: The preoperative pathological diagnosis of rectal lesions is crucial for formulating treatment plans. For subepithelial lesions (SELs) and larger lesions with necrosis of the rectum, endoscopic forceps biopsy (EFB) cannot provide an accurate pathological diagnosis in most cases. By comparing the efficacy and safety of transrectal contrast-enhanced ultrasound-guided transperineal core-needle biopsy (TRCEUS-TP-CNB) and EFB, this study explored the value of TRCEUS-TP-CNB in the diagnosis of complex rectal lesions, such as SELs. Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted with 32 consecutive patients with complex rectal lesions admitted to our hospital from May 2016 to June 2022. Clinical, ultrasound, and pathological data were collected from these patients who underwent EFB followed by TRCEUS-TP-CNB. Results: The success rate of EFB was 21.88% (7/32) and that of TRCEUS-TP-CNB was 93.75% (30/32). No significant complications were observed for either biopsy method. Factors affecting the success rate of EFB included the lesion width (cm) (1.90±0.62 Conclusions: TRCEUS-TP-CNB is an effective biopsy method for complex rectal lesions. The success rate of EFB is lower in the larger lesions. Compared with EFB, TRCEUS-TP-CNB required fewer times of samples be taken and obtained more specimens. For larger lesions and SELs of the rectum, TRCEUS-TP-CNB is expected to become one of the preferred biopsy methods.
