Ligation-assisted endoscopic submucosal resection following unroofing technique for small esophageal subepithelial lesions originating from the muscularis propria.
Article in World journal of gastroenterology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe majority of esophageal subepithelial lesions originating from the muscularis propria (SEL-MPs) are benign in nature, although a subset may exhibit malignant characteristics. Conventional endoscopic resection techniques are time-consuming and lack efficacy for small SEL-MPs.
aimTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of ligation-assisted endoscopic submucosal resection (ESMR-L) following unroofing technique for small esophageal SEL-MPs.
methodsFrom January 2021 to September 2023, 17 patients diagnosed with esophageal SEL-MPs underwent ESMR-L following unroofing technique at the endoscopy center of Shenzhen People's Hospital. Details of clinicopathological characteristics and clinical outcomes were collected and analyzed.
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 50.12 ± 12.65 years. The mean size of the tumors was 7.47 ± 2.83 mm and all cases achieved
conclusionESMR-L following roofing technique is an effective and safe technique for management of esophageal SEL-MPs smaller than 20 mm, but it cannot ensure
