Endoloop-assisted endoscopic removal of over-the-scope and full-thickness resection device clips: Prospective study.

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: The over-the-scope (OTS) clip system is an established tool for endoscopic management of gastrointestinal bleeding, perforations, fistulas, and, in its modified form as the full-thickness resection device (FTRD), for resection of gastrointestinal lesions. In selected cases, clip removal is required. Conventional techniques often demand costly devices and may be time-consuming. This study evaluated a novel, simple technique for endoscopic removal of OTS and FTRD clips using an endoloop, focusing on feasibility and safety. Patients and methods: This prospective single-center study included patients who had undergone OTS or FTRD clip placement and required clip removal between March 2021 and October 2024. The removal procedure involved positioning an endoloop underneath the clip. Follow-up endoscopy within 6 months assessed clip detachment. The primary endpoint was the success rate for clip removal; the secondary endpoint was incidence of adverse events (AEs). Results: A total of 18 patients underwent endoloop-assisted removal of OTS (50%, 9/18) or FTRD (50%, 9/18) clips. Endoloop placement was performed at a median of 94 days (range: 27-472) after OTS clip placement and 97 days (range: 0-274) after EFTR. Follow-up endoscopy confirmed clip detachment after a median of 107 days (range: 33-220) for OTS and 114 days (range: 5-203) for FTRD clips. Clip removal was successful in all patients (100%), with no AEs observed. Conclusions: Endoloop-assisted removal of OTS and FTRD clips appears to be effective and safe, representing an addition to current options for endoscopic clip removal.
