Long-term outcomes of endoscopic resection of 1-1.5 cm sized grade 1 rectal neuroendocrine tumor: A retrospective study.
Article in World journal of gastroenterology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundRectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) smaller than 10 mm and well-differentiated tumors are generally considered to have a low risk of lymph node and distant metastasis, making them suitable for endoscopic resection. In contrast, tumors ≥ 20 mm in size typically require surgical resection. However, the optimal management of intermediate-sized (10-15 mm) rectal NETs remains controversial.
aimTo compare the clinical outcomes of endoscopic resection of rectal NETs < 1 cm and those 1-1.5 cm in size.
methodsA retrospective study was conducted on 1056 patients with rectal NETs treated at the Samsung Medical Center between January 2005 and June 2021. After propensity score matching (1:10) for age, sex, and type of endoscopic resection, 225 patients with tumors < 1 cm in size and 27 patients with tumors 1-1.5 cm in size were analyzed.
resultsSurgical resection was more frequent in the 1-1.5 cm group (37.2%) than in the < 1 cm group (10.7%) (
conclusionEndoscopic resection of 1-1.5 cm grade 1 rectal NETs yielded comparable outcomes to those < 1 cm in size, suggesting its feasibility as a treatment.
