Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: We performed a literature search using PubMed, Web of Science, and CENTRL databases and the following keywords: submucosal, subepithelial, gastrointestinal, mucosal cutting biopsy, MCB, mucosal incision-assisted biopsy, MIAB, single-incision needle-knife biopsy, and SINK. During screening, two authors independently selected relevant articles based on their titles and abstracts. Next, two authors read the full texts of the articles selected during screening to confirm whether they contained the necessary information based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The reference lists of the selected articles were also searched to find additional articles. The inclusion criteria were information regarding diagnoses determined based on MIAB results and adverse events and either a prospective or retrospective study design. The exclusion criteria were as follows: written in a language other than English; society abstract; guidelines, protocol, case report, or meta-analysis; and referred to an organ other than the stomach. Additionally, when articles contained duplicate content, only the most recent one was included.
