Indications, complications and long-term follow-up of patients undergoing percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy: A retrospective study.
Article in Wiener klinische Wochenschrift, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
introductionGastroenterology units have faced a major increase in referrals for PEG insertion over the last decade. For this reason we decided to review our PEG insertion procedures with regard to indications, complications and follow-up. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe indications, success of procedure, complications, long-term results of PEG in patients of Gulhane Military Medical Academy, Haydarpasa Training Hospital between October 2002 and April 2009 were retrospectively evaluated.
results81 patients had undergone PEG insertion and follow-up information has been available for 77 patients. 40 were men with the mean age of all patients 70.74 ± 20.82 (range 20 to 104 years). PEG was successfully placed in all patients except in one patient who had gastric bleeding during the procedure. There was only one mortality related with the placement procedure. The most common indication for PEG was neurologic disorders in 71 (92%) patients. Other indications were head and neck cancers in 6 (8%) patients. Median follow-up period was 12 months (range, 3 days to 78 months). PEG related complications were seen in only 14 patients (18.2%) in 16 events with a total complication rate as 21%.
conclusionsPEG placement is a safe procedure and well-tolerated with a low mortality and complication rate even in older patients who have multiple co-morbidities under adequate precautions.
