ReviewSurgical endoscopy2025
Surgical endoscopy a historical perspective for the future.
Review in Surgical endoscopy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundFlexible endoscopy today is often assumed to be the exclusive domain of medical gastroenterologists. Surgeons however, have been, and continue to be, pioneers and practitioners of endoscopy, significantly advancing this minimally invasive field through their contributions.
methodsWe present a historical review of the contributions surgeons have made in the creation and practice of flexible endoscopy - and offer our vision of the course of future collaborative development of the field.
resultsSurgical endoscopists have and continue to have a tremendous impact on both the technology and techniques of flexible endoscopy. While the involvement of surgeons in flexible endoscopy varies from country to country, it remains a fundamental component of surgical training and an important part of the practice of many surgeons.
conclusionFlexible endoscopy has always been and continues to be an important patient care tool that is shared between medical gastroenterology and digestive surgery. "Turf war" efforts to restrict access to this important tool are unjustified and only serve to deprive patients of the dramatic benefits this tool offers.
