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

Subepithelial lesions (SELs) of the upper gastrointestinal tract are commonly detected during endoscopic examinations and encompass a broad spectrum of benign, potentially malignant, and malignant tumors. While most SELs are asymptomatic and incidentally found, accurate diagnosis remains challenging due to their subepithelial location, necessitating advanced imaging and tissue acquisition techniques. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) plays a crucial role in differentiating SELs, but its diagnostic accuracy remains limited. In response to the need for standardized clinical management, the Korean College of Helicobacter and Upper Gastrointestinal Research has developed evidence-based practice guidelines for the diagnosis and endoscopic treatment of SELs. These guidelines were established through a systematic review of existing literature and expert consensus, resulting in 11 key recommendations addressing diagnostic strategies, surveillance intervals, biopsy techniques, and indications for endoscopic or surgical resection.
