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.

Abstract

backgroundEndoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) may facilitate tissue acquisition for a definitive diagnosis of gastrointestinal subepithelial tumors (SETs). This study aimed to determine the diagnostic yield of EUS-FNB using a novel 20-gauge ProCore needle with a coiled sheath in tissue sampling of gastrointestinal SETs.

methodsBetween July 2016 and February 2017, 39 patients with gastrointestinal SETs were prospectively recruited from six university hospitals in Korea. Hypoechoic SETs ≥2 cm in size and originating from the submucosal and/or muscularis propria layer under EUS were eligible. This study was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02884154).

resultsA total of 36 patients were included in the final analyses. EUS-FNB was diagnostic in 88.9% of SETs. Tissue adequacy was judged as optimal in 97.2% of FNB specimens according to on-site visual evaluation by endosonographers, and in 88.9% of specimens according to pathologists. A macroscopically optimal core sample was obtained with two needle passes in 94.4% of cases. Technical failure rate was encountered in two cases (5.6%) after two needle passes. There were two cases (5.6%) of bleeding, which was managed endoscopically.

conclusionsEUS-FNB using a 20-gauge ProCore needle is a technically feasible and effective modality for histopathologic diagnosis of gastrointestinal SETs, providing adequate core samples with fewer needle passes; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT02884154.
