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 hand suturing (EHS) has emerged as a promising modality in gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopic procedures. Reports on its effectiveness in clinical practice remain limited due to its recent adoption.
aimThis study aimed to describe a single- center experience regarding EHS and its outcomes. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis single -center retrospective study analyzed individuals that underwent advanced endoscopic procedures in the upper and lower GI tract followed by EHS. Defined features (suturing time and speed) and outcomes (postprocedural bleeding, abdominal pain) were assessed.
resultsThirty- one patients were included in the analysis. The median (interquartile range [IQR]) size of the resected lesions was 20 (20-30) mm, and the median (IQR) diameter of the sutured defects was 25 (20-31) mm. The overall suturing time was 25 minutes, with a mean (SD) speed of 1.12 (0.5) mm/min. It varied in different locations, with the fastest closure in the proximal stomach (mean [SD], 25 [13.1] min; 1.27 [0.32] mm/min) and the longest in the rectum (mean [SD], 33 [16.2] min; 0.92 [0.4] mm/min). No symptoms of GI bleeding were reported during early and 4-week follow-up. One case (4.5%) of abdominal pain was reported for the upper GI tract, and none for the lower GI tract.
conclusionsEHS is a safe and effective technique for managing defects in both gastric and rectal advanced endoscopic procedures. Its potential application in preventing post-endoscopic submucosal dissection bleeding in high-risk patients is promising. The duration and complexity of the procedure remain the challenges that may limit its broader adoption. Further research and standardized training are imperative to optimize EHS outcomes and establish it as a routine practice in endoscopic surgery.
