Endoscopic resection in treatment of intramural esophageal cysts: Retrospective analysis of 67 cases.
Article in Endoscopy international open, 2026. 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
Background and study aims: Intramural esophageal cysts (ECs) are rare congenital malformations. This study aimed to investigate clinical characteristics of intramural ECs and evaluated safety and efficacy of endoscopic resection. Patients and methods: From August 2012 to June 2024, 67 patients with intramural ECs treated at the Endoscopy Center of Zhongshan Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Data on baseline characteristics, clinical outcomes, and follow-up were collected. Results: Twenty-nine patients (17 males, mean age 49.8 years) underwent submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection (STER) and 38 patients (26 males, mean age 53.0 years) underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for intramural ECs. Mean specimen sizes were 2.8 ± 0.9 cm and 1.1 ± 0.6 cm, respectively ( Conclusions: Endoscopic resection of intramural ECs is safe and effective with fairly good long-term follow-up outcomes. The STER technique has advantages of completely resecting intramural esophageal cysts originating from the deep muscularis propria layer, particularly lesions with extraluminal growth.
