Endoscopic needle‐knife treatment for symptomatic esophageal Zenker’s diverticulum: A meta‐analysis and systematic review

“…Studies were screened according to the previously listed inclusion criteria and 29 studies were included as part of a full-text review. A total of 13 studies [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] were included in the final review ( Table 1).…”

“…Those 13 studies included 12 journal articles and one abstract. Among the 12 journal articles, 10 were retrospective studies [15][16][17][20][21][22] or not stated, [11][12][13][14] and two 18,23 were prospective studies. Four studies scored less than 10 by MINORS, [11][12][13]19 whereas the others were of moderate to good quality ( Table 2).…”
