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

BACKGROUND AND

aimEndoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) of superficial nonampullary duodenal epithelial tumors (SNADETs) is challenging, and to date, only a few studies assessed the clinical outcomes of EMR in the duodenum. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of EMR for the treatment of SNADETs >10 mm. PATIENTS AND

methodsThis is a single-center retrospective study reporting data from a cohort of consecutive patients undergoing EMR of large (>1 cm) SNADETs between January 2017 and December 2021.

resultsA total of 81 patients with 83 lesions underwent EMR (70 conventional EMR, 13 underwater EMR). The median size was 20 mm (range: 10-60 mm). The mean procedure time was 45 ± 30 min, and the en-bloc resection rate was 47%. In all patients, SNADETs were successfully removed (i.e. technical success). Delayed bleeding occurred in 5 (6%) of EMRs. One delayed perforation occurred, which was managed surgically. Recurrence rate was 20% with a median follow-up period of 20.5 months. Recurrence was detected at the first endoscopic follow-up in 88% of cases, and all recurrences were successfully treated endoscopically. Lesion size ( P  = 0.04), previous endoscopic resection ( P  = 0.05), and piecemeal resection ( P  = 0.05) were independent risk factors of local recurrence after EMR on multivariate-adjusted analysis.

conclusionLarge duodenal adenomas can be effectively managed by EMR. However, duodenal EMR of large lesions carries a significant risk of early recurrence, with a nonnegligible risk of adverse events. Lesion dimension, piecemeal resection, and previous endoscopic resection were associated with a higher recurrence rate. Close endoscopic follow-up is recommended given the high incidence of early recurrence, which can be successfully treated endoscopically.
