Endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition for focal liver lesions in the caudate lobe: a report of seven cases.
Article in Clinical journal of gastroenterology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The caudate lobe of the liver is located deep within the body and surrounded by major blood vessels, such as inferior vena cava, portal vein, and hepatic veins. Thus, percutaneous biopsy is technically challenging. Herein, we report seven patients with focal liver lesions in the caudate lobe who underwent endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition (EUS-TA). Their median age was 56 (25-79) years, consisting five males and two females, and the median lesion size was 44 (19-77) mm. Transgastric EUS-TA was performed in all patients. The needles used were 22G and 25G in six patients and one patient, and the median procedure time was 18 (13-30) min. In all patients, adequate specimens were collected, and pathological diagnosis was possible (three intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, two metastatic tumors from pancreatic cancer, one hepatocellular carcinoma, and one focal nodular hyperplasia). No adverse events associated with the procedure were observed. EUS-TA can be the first choice for tissue acquisition of the caudate lobe lesions.
