Review in Journal of gastroenterology, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03264092 (Comparison of Three Different Tissue Acquisition Techniques During Endoscopic Ultrasound-guide Fine Needle Biopsies of Solid Tumors), which is not on this map. Cited by 46 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a combination of endoscopy and intraluminal ultrasonography. EUS also enables ultrasonographic images of high resolution to be obtained. However, whether a lesion is malignant or benign cannot be diagnosed solely from the findings of EUS. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (EUS-FNAB) was developed to enhance the diagnostic capabilities of EUS by providing additional pathological findings. Though more than 10 years have passed since EUS-FNAB was first used for pancreatic disease, EUS FNAB has not been widely accepted in Japan. This may be due to the technical difficulties, relatively low sensitivity for the detection of malignancies, and Japanese gastroenterologists' and surgeons' inherent conservative way of thinking. We describe here a short history of EUS-FNAB, with details of technical tips, current indications and contraindications, diagnostic accuracy, and complications. The clinical utility of EUS-FNAB has been gradually understood and EUS-FNAB procedures have been increasing in number in Japan. So in the near future, EUS followed by EUS-FNAB will be routinely performed in the same manner as gastrointestinal endoscopy, followed by biopsy under direct vision. Also, therapeutic EUS procedures, such as EUS-guided celiac plexus neurolysis, pancreatic tumor ablation, drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts, and the development of an anastomosis may become feasible as less invasive and safer techniques than those used at present.
