Negative Effect of Prior Lesion Manipulation on Colorectal Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection Outcomes: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

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
introductionEndoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a minimally invasive technique for en-bloc resection of superficial gastrointestinal lesions. However, the influence of prior manipulations, such as tattooing or endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), on ESD outcomes is not well understood.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study evaluated 763 patients (mean age 64 years, 52% female) who underwent colorectal ESD at Brigham and Women's Hospital between 2014 and 2024. Outcomes included rates of en-bloc, R0, curative resection, and adverse events. Multivariable regression analysis identified factors associated with unsuccessful outcomes.
resultsThe mean lesion diameter was 50 mm, with 54.4% located in the right colon. Prior tattooing occurred in 7% of cases while prior EMR was reported in 17% of lesions. En-bloc resection was achieved in 95% of cases, R0 resection in 89%, and curative resection in 88%. The mean procedure time was 64 min, with adverse events including delayed bleeding (3.3%), muscle injury (0.9%), and perforation (0.8%). Factors linked to unsuccessful en-bloc resection were prior tattooing (OR 0.30, 95% CI 0.09-0.98; P = 0.047), prior EMR (OR 0.31, 95% CI 0.12-0.82; P = 0.017), and submucosal fibrosis (OR 0.20, 95% CI 0.07-0.53; P = 0.001). Submucosal fibrosis also reduced R0 and curative resection rates. No statistically significant associations between procedural adverse events and fibrosis, prior EMR, or tattooing were found.
conclusionsThese findings highlight the importance of avoiding unnecessary pre-procedural manipulations and emphasize the need for urgent planning to optimize ESD outcomes.
