The Role of EUS and EUS-FNA in Differentiating Benign and Malignant Gallbladder Lesions.
Review in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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) has greater spatial resolution than other diagnostic imaging modalities. In addition, if gallbladder lesions are found and gallbladder cancer is suspected, EUS is an indispensable modality, enabling detailed tests for invasion depth evaluation using the Doppler mode and ultrasound agents. Furthermore, for gallbladder lesions, EUS fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) can be used to differentiate benign and malignant forms of conditions, such as xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis, and collect evidence before chemotherapy. EUS-FNA is also useful for highly precise and specific diagnoses. However, the prevention of bile leakage, an accidental symptom, is highly important. Advancements in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies facilitate the application of multiple parallel sequencing to EUS-FNA samples. Several biomarkers are expected to stratify treatment for gallbladder cancer; however, NGS can unveil potential predictive genomic biomarkers for the treatment response. It is believed that NGS may be feasible with samples obtained using EUS-FNA, further increasing the demand for EUS-FNA.
