ESR Essentials: pseudolesions in head and neck-practice recommendations by the European Society of Head and Neck Radiology.
Guideline in European radiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 differentiation between pathological and physiological entities constitutes a fundamental aspect of daily radiological practice. Pseudolesions manifest as a transient phenomenon within this spectrum, displaying features of pathology within the context of normal or variant anatomy. A variety of structures, including vascular components, ectopic formations, or deviations from typical developmental patterns, can mimic pathological entities. It is crucial to discern between the two: lesions warranting treatment or ongoing radiological monitoring and pseudolesions where further analysis or treatment is unnecessary. Radiology plays a key role in classifying these entities. Comprehensive knowledge and accurate assessment of head and neck pseudolesions are necessary for radiologists to avoid unnecessary further diagnostic tests, treatments, and distress for the patient. KEY POINTS: Pseudolesions are an aspect of typical anatomy. Ectopic structures will have the same intensity/density no matter the location. Pursuit of a vascular origin can be a problem solver. Incorporate pseudolesions in the report.
