Recommended negative pressure procedural technique for each endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition needle to achieve optimal outcomes[61]

Needle type	Best cellularity	Best diagnostic accuracy	Best overall outcome (specimen)
Menghini	Stylet retraction = suction = no suction	Suction	Suction
Reverse-bevel	Stylet retraction = suction	Suction	Suction
Franseen	Stylet retraction	Stylet retraction = suction	Stylet retraction
Fork-tip	Stylet retraction = no suction	Stylet retraction = suction	Stylet retraction
