Use of contrast-enhanced harmonic endoscopic ultrasonography for the diagnosis of pancreatic cystic lesions.
Review in Journal of medical ultrasonics (2001), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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
Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) provides high spatial and contrast resolution and is a useful tool for evaluating the pancreato-biliary regions. Recently, contrast-enhanced harmonic EUS (CH-EUS) has been used to evaluate lesion vascularity, especially for the diagnosis of pancreatic tumors. CH-EUS adds two major advantages when diagnosing pancreatic cystic lesions (PCL). First, it can differentiate between mural nodules and mucous clots, thereby improving the accurate classification of PCL. Second, it helps with evaluation of the malignant potential of PCL, especially of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms by revealing the vascularity in the mural nodules and solid components. This review discusses the use and limitations of CH-EUS for the diagnosis of PCL.
