1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionLaparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery for duodenal tumors (D-LECS) combines endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) with laparoscopic reinforcement, offering a minimally invasive option for superficial non-ampullary duodenal tumors. However, oral retrieval of resected specimens may be difficult for large or firm tumors, risking fragmentation and compromised pathological assessment. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case involving a 42-year-old woman with a 40-mm villous tumor in the second portion of the duodenum. Due to the size of the tumor, D-LECS (ESD with laparoscopic reinforcement) was contemplated. After successful ESD, the specimen could not be retrieved orally due to non-passage through the pyloric ring. To preserve

conclusionsThis case demonstrates that jejunal exteriorization and controlled enterotomy is a safe and practical alternative in D-LECS when oral extraction is unfeasible, enabling accurate pathological evaluation while preserving minimally invasive benefits.
