Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration using the bronchial ultrasound scope (EUS-B-FNA) for diagnosing pancreatic metastasis in a lung cancer patient case report.
Article in European clinical respiratory journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (EUS-FNA) of the pancreas is performed routinely in many endoscopic centers as part of the diagnostic set-up for suspected pancreatic cancer. The use of transesophageal bronchoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-B-FNA) by pulmonologists has expanded significantly, since it enables effective diagnosis of lesions in the mediastinum and upper abdomen. The following case demonstrates the safety and feasibility of EUS-B-FNA in a patient with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cancer and a pancreatic mass of unknown origin. A patient who was previously diagnosed with NSCLC was referred to the Department of Respiratory Medicine, Odense University Hospital due to suspected recurrence of NSCLC. The patient underwent endobronchial ultrasound guided (EBUS)-FNA from several suspected mediastinal lymph nodes and combined EUS-B-FNA from a pancreatic mass during the same procedure. Pathology results from the pancreatic mass and from the mediastinal lymph nodes showed squamous-cell carcinoma, metastasis from the previous NSCLC. We here by demonstrated that EUS-B-FNA is a feasible and safe technique to obtain tissue samples from pancreatic lesions in patients under investigation for lung cancer.
