Analysis and review of endoscopic features of submucosal tunnel endoscopic resection in the treatment of intramural esophageal bronchogenic cysts.
Review in Esophagus : official journal of the Japan Esophageal Society, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimsIntramural esophageal bronchogenic cyst (EBC) is a rare congenital malformation. Due to few reports, there are still shortcomings in the overview of endoscopic characteristics and the selection of treatment methods. This study aimed to evaluate the endoscopic characteristics of EBCs and the safety and reliability of submucosal tunnel endoscopic resection (STER) for EBCs through case collection and literature review.
methodsThe clinical information, endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) characteristics, endoscopic treatment related features, postoperative adverse events and follow-up results of 16 patients at our center and 19 patients reported with EBCs treated through STER were recorded and used for analysis.
resultsCompared with reported patients, there was no difference in age (44.8 ± 13.8 vs. 51.2 ± 11.1 years), male proportion (62.5% vs. 68.4%) and lesion location of patients in our center. Basically, all the cases under EUS showed hypoechoic occupation from musculi propria, and no enhancement was found in the cases under contrast-enhanced ultrasonography. A total of 25 patients (71.4%) were completely stripped by STER, and the remaining patients conducted partial stripped combined with cyst wall damage. No adverse events were observed during the operation. Overall, four patients presented with fever, and one patient with pneumothorax showed improvement following treatment. All patients demonstrated good recovery. No recurrence of EBCs was observed in all cases during follow-up.
conclusionsSTER may be a safe, effective and reliable ultra-minimally invasive technique for the treatment of EBCs.
