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

Colorectal polyps remain a significant health concern because they can develop into cancer. Therefore, accurate assessment and diagnosis of polyps, along with appropriate treatment decisions, are crucial in preventing complications or malignant transformation. Some polyps are classified as complex polyps, which means they fail to elevate due to a scar from a previously removed polyp or can be determined by a scoring system like the size/morphology/site/access score, which considers factors like site, morphology, size, and access. Management of complex colorectal polyps involves various options, including endoscopic and surgical approaches. Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) may be challenging in scarred polyps, as inadequate lifting can result in incomplete resection or recurrence. As a more advanced alternative, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is suitable for larger lesions, enabling
