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 study aims: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are prevalent among endoscopists. The aim of this study was to evaluate biomechanical risk factors for MSDs in gastroenterologists performing ESD. Methods: An observational study was performed among interventional endoscopists performing ESD in three French centers. Physical constraints were assessed using an analog scale of perceived physical effort intensity and physiological sensors to measure joint angulation kinematics and muscle activity levels (flexor and extensor carpi radialis muscles) during diagnostic colonoscopy and ESD. High muscle strain was defined as any muscle activation exceeding 10% of maximum voluntary contraction (MVC). Two distinct sub-tasks of ESD were identified: lesion marking and circumferential incision phase (ESD-1) and dissection phase (ESD-2). Results: Six interventional gastroenterologists participated in the study. Perceived physical effort was significantly greater for ESD compared with colonoscopy ( Conclusions: ESD increased the risk of musculoskeletal strain. It is crucial to develop prevention programs to reduce risk of MSD in the population of gastroenterologists.
