Submucosal Tunnelling Endoscopic Resection for Oesophageal Duplication Cyst: A Case Report.
Article in Middle East journal of digestive diseases, 2025. 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
Oesophageal duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies of the foregut. Although frequently asymptomatic, these cysts may cause symptoms like dysphagia, chest pain, or respiratory issues if they grow large enough to compress adjacent structures. Endoscopic ultrasound is essential for accurate diagnosis, and though surgical resection remains the conventional therapy for symptomatic cysts, advanced endoscopic techniques are increasingly recognized as effective, less invasive alternatives. We report the case of a 40-year-old man who presented with dysphagia to solids for 3 months. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a large submucosal lesion with fluctuation sign positive, and EUS demonstrated a 4×6.5 cm anechoic to hypoechoic lesion arising above the muscularis propria, likely an oesophageal duplication cyst. The patient underwent successful submucosal tunnelling endoscopic resection (STER) of a cystic lesion under general anaesthesia. This case highlights the feasibility and efficacy of STER as a minimally invasive treatment option for oesophageal duplication cysts.
