Clinical efficacy of endoscopic resection for subepithelial tumors in the esophagogastric junction and gastric cardia: an observational study.
Article in Clinical endoscopy, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundGastric subepithelial tumors (SETs) located near the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) are difficult to treat surgically and endoscopically. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of endoscopic resection of SETs growing from the muscularis propria located in the EGJ and gastric cardia.
methodsThis study included 26 consecutive patients who underwent endoscopic resection of 27 gastric SETs between November 2012 and May 2023.
resultsOf the 27 gastric SETs, 3 and 24 were located in the EGJ and gastric cardia, respectively. The mean tumor size, operative time, and duration of hospitalization were 21 (6-52) mm, 35.4 (9-65) minutes, and 4.2 (3-7) days, respectively. Endoscopic resection of the SETs achieved an en bloc resection rate of 100% (27/27) and a complete resection rate of 88.9% (24/27). Pathological examination confirmed four gastrointestinal stromal tumors and 23 leiomyomas. No bleeding, peritonitis, or abdominal infection occurred after the endoscopic resections. Residual lesions were identified in three patients (11.1%). No recurrence was observed during follow-up (range, 3-24 months).
conclusionsSETs in the EGJ and gastric cardia can be resected effectively, even if they originate from the muscularis propria layer.
