Endoscopic ultrasonography in the diagnosis and treatment of a gastric wall abscess.
Article in Journal of medical ultrasonics (2001), 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
A gastric wall abscess is rare and it can reportedly appear similar to a submucosal tumor on endoscopy. Few reports have described endoscopic ultrasonographic findings for a gastric wall abscess. An 84-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for tarry stools. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed an elevated lesion similar to a submucosal tumor at the posterior wall of the stomach. Erosion and a white coat were observed on top of the lesion. Endoscopic ultrasonography showed an anechoic lesion connected to the proper muscular layer with a hyperechoic area in the center of the lesion. The lesion was diagnosed as a gastric wall abscess using endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration and was treated with endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage. The final diagnosis was a gastric wall abscess presenting as gastrointestinal hemorrhage. The patient was discharged with internal drainage stents. Computed tomography performed 3 months after discharge did not show recurrence of the abscess.
