Comparing underwater and conventional cold snare polypectomy for colorectal adenomas: Prospective randomized controlled trial.

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
Background and study aims: In this study, we aimed to evaluate efficacy and safety of underwater cold snare polypectomy (UCSP) for treating colorectal adenoma. Patients and methods: This single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial screened patients with colorectal adenomas measuring 4 to 9 mm in diameter that were identified through colonoscopies at the Department of Gastroenterology in Jianyang People's Hospital between April 2022 and October 2023. Patients were randomly assigned to undergo UCSP or cold snare polypectomy (CSP). Both groups underwent narrow-band imaging to determine international colorectal endoscopic morphology of type 2 noncancerous lesions. Following polyp removal, biopsy specimens were collected from the base and margins to assess the completeness of resection. Results: The study included 227 polyps from 172 patients; median sizes in the UCSP (n = 122) and CSP groups (n=105) were 5 mm and 6 mm, respectively. The R0 (96.7% vs. 86.7%; Conclusions: UCSP has a high R0 rate for colorectal adenomas measuring 4 to 9 mm.
