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

Objectives: Low-grade gastric adenomas (LGA) are managed using a variety of methods, unlike high-grade adenomas or early gastric cancers, which follow more standardized treatment protocols. This study aimed to assess the current practices and follow-up strategies used by South Korean gastroenterologists in managing LGA. Methods: An online survey was created with Google Forms and distributed to South Korean gastroenterologists via email or paper instructions containing a Quick Response code. Results: A total of 130 South Korean gastroenterologists responded to the survey. The size criteria for endoscopic treatment of LGAs were as follows: size-independent (68.5%), ≥5 mm (13.1%), ≥1 cm (16.2%), ≥1.5 cm (0.8%), and ≥2 cm (1.5%). Treatment decisions, such as performing endoscopic submucosal dissection, were primarily influenced by lesion size (88.5%), endoscopic appearance (62.3%), and location (41.5%). For lesions ≥1.5 cm, 85.3% (n=111) of respondents favored endoscopic submucosal dissection, whereas for lesions ≤1 cm, endoscopic mucosal resection or argon plasma coagulation was preferred. Regarding follow-up endoscopy intervals, most respondents (70.0%) conducted follow-up within 6 months post-endoscopic resection, with subsequent endoscopies at 1-year intervals. Conclusions: This study provides a detailed overview of the current management strategies for LGAs among South Korean gastroenterologists, highlighting the variability in approaches. Further research is required to develop more standardized guidelines for the management and surveillance of LGA.
