Pancreatic Cystic Lesions and Endoscopic Ultrasound Diagnostic Equipment: A Literature Review.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 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
Pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) include clinically challenging conditions that range from benign to malignant prognoses. Their prevalence is increasing, and they are often detected as incidental findings during cross-sectional imaging. Thus, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) plays a pivotal role in investigating these lesions. In this review, we analyze the complete diagnostic potential of EUS. Contrast-enhanced EUS, contrast-harmonic EUS, and elastography are useful for distinguishing between benign and malignant forms, and detective flow imaging EUS and e-FLOW EUS have enhanced the diagnostic arsenal available. Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is important for obtaining cystic fluid for biochemical analysis and cytological examinations. Confocal laser endomicroscopy and through-the-needle biopsy represent adjunctive techniques for refined and difficult diagnosis. Moreover, artificial intelligence could be a promising modality in the EUS world. EUS allows PCLs to be detected accurately and plays a relevant role in identifying malignant forms.
