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

purpose of reviewThis review synthesizes current literature on the use of Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in congenital gastrointestinal (GI) conditions. Special emphasis is placed on pediatric applications, where EUS is increasingly recognized as both feasible and safe. RECENT

findingsEUS has transformed the evaluation and management of congenital anomalies affecting the GI tract and pancreaticobiliary system, and has been shown to be safe and effective in the pediatric population. By combining high-resolution imaging with the ability to perform real-time interventions, EUS addresses diagnostic uncertainties that historically required cross-sectional imaging or invasive surgery. EUS offers precise diagnostics, minimally invasive evaluation, and therapeutic guidance in pediatric patients, potentially avoiding surgical intervention. Larger pediatric multicenter registries are needed to further validate its use in children. Widespread adoption remains limited by the scarcity of EUS-trained pediatric gastroenterologists and the lack of specialized equipment designed for small children.
