| EUS | EUS-FNA | |
| Studies | 44 | 4 |
| Pooled sensitivity (%) | 84.7 (82.9-86.4) | 96.7 (92.4-98.9) |
| Pooled specificity (%) | 84.6 (83.2-85.9) | 95.5 (91.0-98.2) |
| Positive likelihood ratio | 3.3 (2.6-4.3) | 7.3 (0.9-54.3) |
| Negative likelihood ratio | 0.24 (0.9-0.3) | 0.05 (0.01-0.64) |
| Diagnostic odds ratio | 19.1 (12.7-28.5) | 164.5 (4.5-6027.7) |
