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 Aims: Re-cellularization via electroporation therapy (ReCET) is an endoscopic procedure that uses electroporation to induce cellular apoptosis and subsequent re-epithelization in the duodenum. ReCET has demonstrated a positive effect on glycaemia. In this study, a single ReCET procedure was combined with a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) with the goal of eliminating insulin treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). At 12 months 86% of patients remained off insulin. Here we report the longer-term efficacy and safety of ReCET combined with GLP-1RA over 24 months. Methods: This was a first-in-human study in patients with T2D on basal insulin (28-75 years of age; body mass index, 24-40 kg/m Results: Fourteen patients underwent endoscopic ReCET. Eleven initial responders completed the 24-month follow-up, of which 1 withdrew consent after 18 months. All patients remained off insulin with adequate glycemic control. No procedure-related serious adverse events or severe hypoglycemic events were observed during 24 months of follow-up. Homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance and liver fat percentage improved significantly compared with baseline. Conclusions: These results suggest that duodenal ReCET combined with semaglutide is durable, allowing insulin elimination up to 24 months, and appears safe. Glycemic control was maintained, and metabolic health improved during the 24-month follow-up period.
