Carcinomatosis is not a contraindication to enteral stenting in selected patients with malignant gastric outlet obstruction.
Article in Gastrointestinal endoscopy, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers.
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.
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
backgroundEndoscopically inserted self-expandable metal stents (SEMSs) are used to palliate malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO). Peritoneal disease is considered a relative contraindication to SEMS placement given the risk of multifocal obstruction.
objectiveTo evaluate the success of SEMSs placed in patients with GOO with carcinomatosis.
designRetrospective review of patients who underwent SEMS placement for malignant GOO.
settingLarge, urban cancer center. PATIENTS: A total of 215 patients who were scheduled for SEMS placement for GOO.
interventionsSEMS placement. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS: Technical success, clinical success, early and late SEMS failure, and complications.
resultsTechnical success was achieved in 192 of 201 patients (95.5%). Of the 9 patients who did not achieve technical success, 6 had carcinomatosis. Among the 116 patients (60%) with carcinomatosis, clinical success was achieved 94 of them (81%). Of these 94 patients, 17 (18%) required reinterventions: 4 for early SEMS failure and 13 for late SEMS failure. Among the 76 patients (40%) without carcinomatosis, clinical success was achieved in 64 of them (84%). Of these 64 patients, 17 (27%) required reinterventions: 4 for early SEMS failure and 13 for late SEMS failure. Complication rates were similar for both groups. LIMITATIONS: This was a retrospective review with experienced clinicians selecting patients whom they thought would benefit from SEMS placement.
conclusionsThis is the first study to evaluate the effect of carcinomatosis on the technical and clinical success of SEMSs in the palliation of malignant GOO. We found clinical outcomes comparable to those without peritoneal disease. Carcinomatosis should not be considered a contraindication to SEMS placement in selected patients with malignant GOO.
