Effects of endoscopic mucosal resection and argon plasma coagulation on postoperative recovery and complications in elderly colon polyp patients.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundColon polyps represent a significant clinical challenge in elderly patients. While endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and argon plasma coagulation (APC) are widely used, their comparative effectiveness in elderly populations remains unclear, particularly regarding postoperative recovery and complication profiles.
aimTo compare the postoperative recovery, complications and efficacy of EMR and APC in elderly patients with colonic polyps.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed clinical data from 224 elderly patients with colon polyps treated at our center between January 2021 and July 2024. All patients were divided into the EMR group and APC group according to the surgical method they received. By comparing the operation time, intraoperative bleeding situation, hospital stays, postoperative inflammatory response index, complication rate and recurrence status of the two groups, the effect of the two surgical methods was comprehensively evaluated.
resultsThe APC group exhibited superior outcomes in terms of operative time (10.63 minutes
conclusionFor elderly patients with colon polyps, APC showed certain advantages compared with EMR in promoting postoperative recovery, reducing the inflammatory response and the risk of complications. However, the study is limited by its single-center retrospective design and short follow-up period, and further multicenter prospective studies are needed to validate the findings.
