Transparent cap scope tamponade: an inexpensive, efficient, and underappreciated maneuver for bleeding visualization and hemostasis.

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 Aims: Low-grade bleeding is commonly encountered during endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), and there are several hemostasis techniques that can be used, each with advantages and disadvantages. One efficient, inexpensive, and underappreciated technique is the use of a distal attachment on the endoscope to provide immediate scope tamponade that quickly stops most low-grade bleeding. Methods: The use of the distal attachment during endoscopic resection improves scope stability, and when low- to moderate-grade bleeding occurs, it can be used in conjunction with water infusion to quickly allow visualization of the source of the bleed. Subsequently, the tip of the distal attachment can be easily applied to the source of the bleeding, allowing immediate control or allowing time to retrieve a more definitive hemostatic device. Results: Four cases are presented demonstrating the valuable uses of the transparent distal cap attachment during EMR of a variety of colonic lesions. Conclusions: Using the distal attachment cap to provide scope tamponade is an effective, inexpensive, and underappreciated strategy to achieve hemostasis in low- to moderate-grade intraprocedural bleeding.
