Gastric metastases of oral carcinoma resulting from percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy placement via the introducer technique.
Article in Gastroenterology report, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
INTRODUCTION. Tumour cell implantation is a rare complication in patients with head and neck cancers, who have undergone percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube placement. It has not been reported in patients who underwent a PEG insertion via the radiological or introducer technique. We describe a novel case presentation of metastatic disease in a patient who underwent PEG placement via the introducer (Russell) technique which, to the best of our knowledge, has not not previously been described. CASE PRESENTATION. The patient was a 37-year-old Malay woman who developed metastatic squamous cell carcinoma deposits in her stomach and liver one month after a gastrostomy tube was removed following the completion of treatment for oropharyngeal carcinoma. CONCLUSION. Previous authors have advocated the use of alternative PEG insertion technique apart from the 'pull' technique to minimise the risk of tumour implantation from head and neck cancers. Our case report suggests that this risk is not totally eliminated when the PEG tube is inserted via the introducer technique.
