Feasibility of esophageal stent fixation with an over-the-scope-clip for malignant esophageal strictures to prevent migration.

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
BACKGROUND AND STUDY
aimsFixation of an esophageal self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) with an over-the-scope-clip (OTSC) system for a benign stricture to prevent migration has been reported. However, the efficacy of SEMS fixation with an OTSC for malignant esophageal stricture remains unclear. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the feasibility of SEMS fixation with an OTSC for a malignant esophageal stricture. PATIENTS AND
methodsTwelve patients who underwent esophageal SEMS placement and fixation with an OTSC for a malignant esophageal stricture were included in this retrospective study. The primary endpoint was technical success. The secondary endpoint was clinical success, which was defined as an improvement of at least 1 grade in the dysphagia score 1 week after SEMS placement or changes in the dysphagia score from before SEMS placement to 1 week after SEMS placement.
resultsThe technical success rate was 100 %. The clinical success rate was 92.3 %. In 6 mild stricture cases in which a standard peroral endoscope could be used, no migration of the SEMS was observed. The median dysphagia score before and at 1 week after SEMS placement was 3 (range 2 - 4) and 0 (0 - 4), respectively, which indicated improvement at 1 week after SEMS placement compared with before SEMS placement (
conclusionsSEMS fixation with an OTSC is feasible for prevention of migration due to a malignant esophageal stricture.
