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 Aims: Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is not systematically taught during most training programs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and clinical utility of a 1-day didactic and simulation-based EMR curriculum for practicing endoscopists without prior formal training in advanced endoscopic tissue resection. Methods: We designed a 1-day lecture and simulation-based EMR course. Twelve participants completed the course. Effectiveness and clinical utility were evaluated using sequential explanatory mixed methods. All participants completed a pre-course multiple choice question (MCQ) examination followed by a separate, post-course MCQ examination with a similar blueprint. A survey was also conducted to assess cognitive fatigue, perceived benefit, and potential for change in EMR practice. Finally, a delayed MCQ examination was administered 10-14 weeks later to assess knowledge retention and qualitative data were sequentially collected from 3 candidates via semi-structured interviews. Results: The mean pre-course score was 47.8% (SD 12.4%). The mean post-course score was 75% (9.9%) and the mean delayed score was 70.8% (13.6%), both significantly higher than the mean pre-course score ( Conclusions: This study demonstrates significant knowledge acquisition and retention of cognitive skills and suggests a change in practice following a 1-day focused didactic and simulation-based EMR course.
