Endoscopic submucosal dissection for superficial ultra-low rectal tumors: outcomes and predictive factors for procedure difficulty.
Article in American journal of cancer research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundUltra-low rectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) presents technical challenges due to anatomical features. The objective of this research was to determine the risk factors linked to unsuccessful curative resections and to create a nomogram predictive model to assess the likelihood of encountering technical challenges.
methodsPatients with ultra-low rectal tumors received ESD form June 2017 to December 2022 were retrospectively enrolled. An ESD procedure exceeding 30 min was deemed difficult. A logistic regression analysis was performed to pinpoint important factors and predictors. The effectiveness of the nomogram, which incorporated the identified predictors, was evaluated by employing receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration plots, and decision curve analysis (DCA).
resultsA total of 300 patients with ultra-low rectal tumors were enrolled, with a curative resection rate of 82.0%. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that poor lifting sign (OR = 3.282,
conclusionsPoor lifting sign, LST-NG and procedure time ≥ 60 min were associated with non-curative resection for ultra-low rectal ESD. By including factors such as tumor size, location, and the operator's experience with ESD, the nomogram can predict the complexity of the procedure before surgery.
