1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

In esophageal cancer treatment, nutrition by feeding tube has been demonstrated to improve patient tolerance of treatment, quality of life, and long-term outcomes. The open gastrostomy and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) using introducer technique are procedures that avoid cancer cells seeding and also improve patient's nutritional status, hydration, and medication. The aim of this study is to compare the results of the introducer PEG and open gastrostomy in patients with advanced esophageal cancer. A retrospective study was analyzed in the advanced esophageal cancer patients who indicated and received feeding support between January 2016 and December 2017. Twenty-eight patients in introducer PEG and 36 patients in open gastrostomy presented the following comparative data: mean operative duration time shorter, less pain score, and shorter hospitalization in introducer PEG than open gastrostomy. Both groups showed no readmission or 30-day mortality. The adverse events of open gastrostomy demonstrated higher than introducer PEG group. Both introducer PEG and open gastrostomy were the safe options for advanced esophageal cancer patients indicating for enteral feeding and to avoid cancer cell seeding but the introducer PEG demonstrated the effective minimally invasive procedure with fewer complications.
