Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy histology with a 22-gauge Franseen needle and fine-needle aspiration liquid-based cytology with a conventional 25-gauge needle provide comparable diagnostic accuracy in solid pancreatic lesions.
Article in JGH open : an open access journal of gastroenterology and hepatology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimFine-needle biopsy (FNB) needles obtain more core samples and support the shift from cytologic to histologic evaluation; however, recent studies have proposed a superior diagnostic potential for liquid-based cytology (LBC). This study compared the diagnostic ability of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided FNB histology with a 22-gauge Franseen needle (22G-FNB-H) and fine-needle aspiration (FNA) LBC with a conventional 25-gauge needle (25G-FNA-LBC).
methodsWe analyzed 46 patients who underwent both 22G-FNB-H and 25G-FNA-LBC in the same lesion during the same endoscopic procedure. This study evaluated the diagnostic ability of each needle, diagnostic concordance between needles, and incremental diagnostic effect of both needles compared to using each needle alone.
resultsThe agreement rate for malignancy between both techniques was 93.5% (kappa value = 0.82). There was no significant difference in the diagnostic ability of both methods. 22G-FNB-H and 25G-FNA-LBC provided an incremental diagnostic accuracy in two (4.3%) cases and one (2.2%) case, respectively.
conclusionOur study demonstrated that the diagnostic accuracy of 25G-FNA-LBC and 22G-FNA-H for solid pancreatic lesions were comparable. A conventional 25-gauge needle that punctures lesions with ease can be used in difficult cases and according to the skill of the endoscopist.
