Green endoscopy: A review of strategies for sustainable practice.
Review in World journal of gastrointestinal endoscopy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
In the last 50 years, gastrointestinal endoscopy has evolved rapidly with increasing indications of use for both diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. However, it has also contributed to a significant carbon footprint and healthcare-related climate change. Endoscopy is a high-volume specialty in the United States, with an estimated > 22 million endoscopies performed annually. Therefore, it has also, unfortunately, become the third-highest generator of healthcare-related waste, with an estimated annual emission of 85768 metric tons of carbon dioxide. It is estimated that a single endoscopy session may generate more than 2 kg of waste. At the level of physicians, administrators, industry, and humanity, reducing healthcare-related waste has become one of the significant challenges currently faced. The ultimate professional goal should be to raise awareness, educate, start initiatives to reduce medical waste and perform research to make endoscopy more sustainable. These applications will lead to the establishment and promotion of environmentally friendly practices with standardized metrics to reduce the carbon footprint of gastrointestinal endoscopy.
