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

introductionEndoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is an effective procedure for resecting noninvasive colorectal neoplasms. However, submucosal fibrosis affects the technical difficulty of ESD. We experienced a combined ESD and transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) for a rectal neoplasm with submucosal fibrosis. CASE PRESENTATION: We report our experience with a 75-year-old woman who had a rectal laterally spreading tumor with scarring from a prior transanal resection. She underwent combined ESD and TAMIS to overcome the procedural difficulty of ESD for submucosal fibrosis. The portion of the bowel without scarring was dissected using ESD, while the portion with scarring was dissected using TAMIS. A successful

conclusionsBased on the findings from this case, the combination of ESD and TAMIS may be particularly effective under conditions such as rectal neoplasms with submucosal fibrosis.
