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

Objectives: Delayed bleeding is a major complication of gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), particularly in high-risk patients. The reopenable clip-over-the-line method (ROLM) is a novel closure technique, but its durability and preventive effects remain unclear. We evaluated the impact of ROLM on delayed bleeding and sustained closure after gastric ESD in high-risk patients. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed gastric ESD cases from April 2021 to December 2024, including only patients with a BEST-J score ≥3, and compared ROLM and non-ROLM groups. In the ROLM group, mucosal closure was confirmed endoscopically on postoperative day 1 (POD1), and clip retention was assessed at 2 months. The primary outcome was delayed bleeding within 28 days. Secondary outcomes included sustained closure on POD1 and clip retention at 2 months. Results: The ROLM group included 21 lesions in 15 patients, and the non-ROLM group included 93 lesions in 72 patients. Delayed bleeding occurred in 0/15 ROLM patients (0%) versus 17/72 non-ROLM patients (23.6%) ( Conclusion: In high-risk gastric ESD patients, ROLM was associated with no delayed bleeding and achieved complete POD1 closure with frequent 2-month clip retention, suggesting a potential for a promising prophylactic strategy.
