Endoscopic Nasoenteral Feeding Tube Fixation with Hemoclip Reduces Tube Dislodgement.

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/
aimsSpontaneous retrograde migration of nasoenteral feeding tubes is common in clinical practice. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of nasoenteral feeding tube tip fixation with hemoclips to prevent tube dislodgement.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent insertion of an endoscopic nasoenteral feeding tube with or without tube tip fixation with hemoclips at the Asan Medical Center in Korea from January 2016 to December 2017. We compared the incidence of tube dislodgment and procedure-related complications between the two groups.
resultsOf the total 225 procedures, 72 were performed using the clip-assisted method, while 153 were performed using the standard non-clip-assisted method. Tube dislodgement occurred in two (2.8%) cases in the clipping group and in 26 (17.0%) in the non-clipping group (p = 0.003). Non-clipping group had a sevenfold higher risk of tube dislodgement compared to clipping group after adjustments in multivariable logistic regression (adjusted OR 7.97, 95% CI 1.82-35.00). The procedure time was not significantly different between the two groups (17.6 ± 8.5 min in the clipping group vs. 17.8 ± 9.4 min in the non-clipping group, p = 0.872). In addition, procedure-related complications, such as bleeding, aspiration pneumonia, Mallory-Weiss tear, ileus, and tube obstruction, were not different between the two groups. Achieving target calorie intake took 10.4 ± 10.5 days in the clipping group and 7.9 ± 7.9 days in the non-clipping group (p = 0.293).
conclusionClip-assisted fixation of nasoenteral feeding tube was effective in preventing tube dislodgement.
