Figure 1 PRISMA flow diagram.

Figure 2 Forest plots were used to verify the relative strength of the diagnostic value of each procedure. The results regarding the rates of incomplete resection (A), adverse events (B), delayed bleeding (C), and procedure duration (D) are shown. ESD: Endoscopic submucosal dissection; MD: Mean difference; SD: Standard deviation; CI: Confidence interval; W: Weight; OR: Odds ratio.

Figure 3 Funnel plots were used to clarify any publication bias. The results regarding the rates of incomplete resection (A), adverse events (B), delayed bleeding (C), and procedure duration (D) are shown.
