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

backgroundGastric lesions may be incidentally detected during pancreatobiliary endoscopic ultrasonography (PB-EUS). We aimed to clarify the detection rate of gastric lesions and the impact of awareness on the detection of gastric lesions during PB-EUS.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed consecutive patients who underwent PB-EUS (1932 procedures, 1220 patients). We compared the detection rate of incidental gastric lesions and documentation of gastric findings between the groups without and with gastric screening during PB-EUS: former group (2009-2014: 505 procedures, 409 patients) and latter group (2015-2020: 1427 procedures, 918 patients), respectively.

resultsThirteen gastric lesions were incidentally detected during PB-EUS, all in the latter group, including gastric cancer (n = 1), malignant lymphoma (n = 1), gastric adenoma (n = 1), gastric submucosal tumor (n = 2), and gastric ulcer (n = 8). The detection rate of gastric lesions was significantly higher in the latter group than in the former group per procedure (0.91% vs. 0%, P = 0.027) and per patient (1.41% vs. 0%, P = 0.015), and gastric findings were significantly more commonly described in patients' medical records (39.8% vs. 2.97%, P < 0.001).

conclusionsGastric lesions may be encountered during PB-EUS. A quick screening during PB-EUS improved the detection rate of gastric lesions, presumably due to increased awareness of gastric lesions during the procedure.
