Diagnostic performance and safety of endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition of gallbladder lesions: A systematic review with meta-analysis.

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
backgroundEndoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided tissue acquisition (TA) is widely used for various target samples, but its efficacy in gallbladder (GB) lesions is unknown. The aim of the present meta-analysis was to assess the pooled adequacy, accuracy and safety of EUS-TA of GB lesions.
methodsA literature search from January 2000 to August 2022 was done for studies analyzing the outcome of EUS-guided TA in patients with GB lesions. Pooled event rates were expressed with summative statistics.
resultsThe pooled rate of sample adequacy for all GB lesions and malignant GB lesions was 97.0% (95% CI: 94.5-99.4) and 96.6% (95% CI: 93.8-99.3), respectively. The pooled sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of malignant lesions were 90% (95% CI: 85-94; I
conclusionEUS-guided tissue acquisition from GB lesions is a safe technique with high sample adequacy and diagnostic accuracy. EUS-TA can be an alternative when traditional sampling techniques fail or are not feasible.
