Diagnosis and treatment of gastric abscess by endoscopic ultrasound: A mini-review of the preliminary application.
Review in DEN open, 2026. 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
Gastric abscess is a rare condition caused by gastric barrier damage. It is easily misdiagnosed in clinical practice as a cancer recurrence or submucosal tumor, especially after surgery or endoscopic submucosal dissection. With a relatively high mortality rate, the cause and clinical characteristics of gastric abscesses are obscure. To date, diagnostic evaluations have mostly included indirect gastroscopy and abdominal computed tomography. A definite diagnosis of gastric abscess is challenging, and unnecessary surgery is sometimes performed. Relatively few applications of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) have been described. EUS-guided fine needle aspiration for diagnosis and drainage is not commonly used. Therefore, more experiences related to the cause and clinical characteristics of gastric abscesses should be reported. Further recognition of EUS ultrasonographic images and related minimally invasive EUS therapies are urgently needed. Herein, through a literature review of previous cases, we summarized the causes, clinical features, and diagnostic methods for gastric abscess. Moreover, we aimed to gain more experience diagnosing gastric abscesses by EUS for future differentiation and treatment strategies by endoscopy.
