Use of a Novel Self-assembling Peptide Gel for Prevention of Bleeding After Endoscopic Mucosal Resection of Large Nonpedunculated Sessile Colorectal Polyps: A Case-Control Study.
Article in Gastro hep advances, 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 Aims: Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) of large nonpedunculated colorectal lesions (LNPCLs) carries a risk of delayed bleeding. To prevent this, the EMR defect can be clipped closed. However, this is often not possible with larger defects. Recently, a self-assembling peptide gel has become available, which may reduce delayed bleeding by creating a liquid bandage. There are limited data on the effectiveness of this agent. The aim of this study was to evaluate the gel for the prevention of delayed bleeding. Methods: This is a multicenter retrospective case-control study from February 2019-February 2024 of consecutive patients undergoing EMR of LNPCLs not amenable to closure. Cases were patients with gel applied post EMR for prevention of bleeding vs controls without gel application. The primary outcome was the rate of gastrointestinal bleeding postprocedure. Results: A total of 176 patients were enrolled from 6 centers; of which, 94 lesions were cases and 91 were controls. The groups were statistically equivalent for bleeding risk factors. Postprocedural bleeding occurred in 11 cases vs 3 controls (12% vs 3%; Conclusion: Use of a novel self-assembling peptide gel after EMR of LNPCLs was associated with delayed bleeding. This observation needs to be validated in a prospective study.
