1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundSmall intestinal endoscopic ultrasonography (SIEUS) enables the comprehensive analysis of the origin and sonographic characteristics of protruding submucosal lesions. Current evidence is limited to case reports. We aimed to investigate the application value of SIEUS for protruding lesions of the small intestine.

methodsClinical data of patients who underwent double-balloon enteroscopy combined with SIEUS at the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University between January 2023 and December 2024 were retrospectively collected. A total of 28 patients had concurrently received a diagnosis of protruding lesions of the small intestine and pathological results during their first visit. SIEUS findings were compared with the pathological results.

resultsPatient cases included stromal tumor (n = 10), ectopic pancreas (n = 7), hemangioma (n = 5), lipoma (n = 3), neuroendocrine tumor (n = 2), and invaginated Meckel's diverticulum (n = 1). All cases were initially detected via white light endoscopy (WLE) and subsequently characterized by endoscopic ultrasonography during the first visit. Pathological specimens were obtained for all lesions through biopsy, endoscopic minimally invasive surgery, or surgery. Our results indicated 100% diagnostic agreement (28/28) between endoscopic ultrasonography and pathology findings.

conclusionThe combination of WLE and SIEUS provides a comprehensive assessment of protruding lesions, with WLE enabling detection and SIEUS facilitating detailed submucosal characterization.
