Percutaneous Endoscopic Transgastric Jejunostomy (PEG-J) Tube Placement for Levodopa-Carbidopa Intrajejunal Gel Therapy in the Interventional Radiology Suite: A Long-term Follow-up.

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
backgroundPercutaneous endoscopic gastrojejunostomy (PEG) and radiologically inserted gastrojejunostomy (RIG) are both safe and effective techniques for gastrojejunal tube placement. The authors compared these 2 procedures in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) who required the continuous intrajejunal delivery of a levodopa/carbidopa gel suspension (LCIG).
methodsOutcomes were retrospectively collated from 30 PEG and 12 RIG procedures performed at 2 centers in patients with advanced PD for the delivery of LCIG.
resultsBaseline clinical characteristics, incidence of early severe adverse events, late major complications, dropout, and the mean time-lapse of tube replacements were comparable in the PEG and RIG groups.
conclusionThe current results suggest that, in patients with PD, the RIG technique is as safe and effective as the endoscopic procedure, and it can be considered a valid option for patients who require LCIG when the endoscopic procedure is not available or unfeasible.
