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
Effective closure of both muscular and mucosal defects after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) remains a technical challenge. Failure to adequately address such defects may increase the risk of delayed perforation. In this video case report, we demonstrate the application of the through-the-scope (TTS) tack system for defect closure following ESD in a patient with a cecal lesion. The patient, a 79-year-old male, presented with a 75-mm laterally spreading sessile lesion in the cecum identified during screening colonoscopy. ESD was performed successfully, revealing a partial defect in the muscular layer. To address the risk of complications associated with this defect, we utilized the X-Tack™ endoscopic heliX tacking system (Apollo Endosurgery, Inc., Austin, TX, USA) to achieve secure closure of both the mucosal and muscular layers. The procedure was completed without complications, and the patient was discharged on the same day. This case highlights the feasibility and safety of the TTS tack system for the closure of combined mucosal and muscular defects after ESD, particularly for right-sided colonic lesions.
