Safety and efficacy of endoscopic ultrasound as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool in pediatric patients: a multicenter study.
Article in Therapeutic advances in gastrointestinal endoscopy. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Background: Despite the well-established diagnostic and therapeutic applications of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in adults, data about its use in children are limited. In this study, we tried to assess the feasibility, safety, and clinical impact of EUS in pediatric patients. Methods: Data of pediatric patients (<18 years) referred for EUS over a 3-year period to the endoscopy units of four Egyptian tertiary centers were retrospectively analyzed. Significant impact was defined as a new diagnosis or treatment attributed to the EUS procedure. Results: Twenty-four diagnostic and five therapeutic EUS procedures were conducted in 29 children with a median age of 9 years. Indications for EUS included assessment of solid pancreatic mass ( Conclusion: Standard linear EUS equipment and accessories can be used safely and effectively in selected pediatric patients for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
