1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Iatrogenic perforation is the most feared adverse event in endoscopy. With the expansion of interventional endoscopy in favor of traditional surgery, it is now more crucial than ever to develop effective defect closure techniques. This has culminated in the dissemination of multiple novel closure technologies, including through-the-scope clips, over-the-scope clips, through-the-scope suturing and over-the-scope suturing devices. In this editorial, we comment on the recent publication by Wang and colleagues discussing the performance of the double-nylon purse-string suture technique in the closure of large (> 3 cm) gastric full-thickness defects. This technique offers a promising, practical and cost-effective approach to closure of large full-thickness defects that can be readily implemented across diverse healthcare settings.
