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.

2 · The registry

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

Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is a modality with high spatial resolution that enables comprehensive observation of the entire pancreas and plays an important role in the diagnosis of pancreatic lesions. Recent advances in diagnostic imaging methods such as ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging have increased the incidental detection of pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs). EUS has been recognized as an essential diagnostic method for the detection and evaluation of PCLs. EUS has two important roles: as a detailed (high-resolution) imaging diagnostic method and as an approach for collecting cyst fluid content by EUS-guided fine needle aspiration for pathological diagnosis or biomarker evaluation. Furthermore, in recent years, the usefulness of contrast-enhanced EUS for the differential diagnosis of PCLs or evaluation of grade of malignancy, and a novel imaging technique called needle-based confocal laser endomicroscopy to observe intraductal structures through a needle, has been reported. An understanding of the morphological characteristics of PCLs depicted by ultrasound imaging and of the benefits and limitations of EUS diagnosis in daily practice is needed.
