Endoscopic excision for internal and mixed hemorrhoids: a retrospective case series of short-term outcomes.
Article in Frontiers in physiology, 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
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the short-term clinical outcomes and safety of endoscopic excision for the management of internal and mixed hemorrhoids. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 20 patients with Grade II to Grade IV internal or mixed hemorrhoids who underwent endoscopic excision at Zhoushan Hospital between January 2024 and December 2024. All patients had complete follow-up data. Results: At 3 and 6 months after surgery, the treatment effectiveness rate was 100%, and both postoperative satisfaction and acceptance rates were 100%. No severe postoperative complications occurred, and no bleeding or infection was observed. Mild pain developed in three patients, a transient sensation of anal heaviness and distension occurred in one patient, and temporary urinary retention occurred in one patient, which resolved after local hot compress therapy. Postoperative pathological examinations confirmed that the resected anorectal masses demonstrated changes consistent with hemorrhoidal tissue. Conclusion: Endoscopic excision for internal and mixed hemorrhoids is a safe and effective therapeutic approach. It provides significant symptom relief, yields high postoperative satisfaction and acceptance among patients, and allows for definitive pathological confirmation of the nature of the resected anorectal tissue.
