Clinicopathologic factors influencing the accuracy of EUS for superficial esophageal carcinoma.
Trial report in World journal of gastroenterology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
aimTo identify clinicopathologic factors influencing the accuracy of a high-frequency catheter probe endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) for superficial esophageal carcinomas (SECs).
methodsA total of 126 patients with endoscopically suspected SEC, who underwent EUS and curative treatment at Pusan National University Hospital during 2005-2013, were enrolled. We reviewed the medical records of the 126 patients and compared EUS findings with histopathologic results according to clinicopathologic factors.
resultsA total of 114 lesions in 113 patients were included in the final analysis. The EUS assessment of tumor invasion depth was accurate in 78.9% (90/114) patients. Accuracy did not differ according to histologic type, tumor differentiation, tumor location, or macroscopic shape. However, accuracy significantly decreased for tumors ≥ 3 cm in size (P = 0.002). Overestimation and underestimation of the invasion depth occurred for 11 (9.6%) and 13 lesions (11.4%), respectively. In multivariate analyses, tumor size ≥ 3 cm was the only factor significantly associated with EUS accuracy (P = 0.031), and was specifically associated with the underestimation of invasion depth.
conclusionEUS using a high-frequency catheter probe generally provides highly accurate assessments of SEC invasion depth, but its accuracy decreases for tumors ≥ 3 cm.
