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

Colonoscopy combined with polypectomy is a well-established strategy for the prevention of colorectal cancer, and endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) serves as one of the primary therapeutic modalities for colorectal neoplastic lesions. While EMR is generally safe, severe complications may occasionally occur. Herein, we report a rare case of rectal submucosal abscess in a 74-year-old female patient who underwent EMR for rectal polyps. Initial endoscopic fenestration and drainage of the abscess failed to achieve a satisfactory therapeutic effect, and the patient ultimately underwent sigmoidostomy for further management. This case highlights the necessity of considering phlegmon or abscess formation in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with unexplained acute abdomen after EMR for rectal lesions, especially in those with compromised immunity. Timely identification and intervention are crucial to avoid adverse clinical outcomes.
