Laparoscopic tubularized continent gastrostomy: an alternative to tube gastrostomies.

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
Gastrostomy tubes, placed either endoscopically or laparoscopically, are the most widely used method to deliver enteral feeding to patients unable to be fed by mouth. Tube gastrostomy is quick and low cost and allows the health care professionals for a convenient route to deliver enteral nutrition to their patients. Nevertheless, bearing an indwelling gastric tube could not be as convenient for patients. Complications, such as bowel perforation, tube dislodgement, peristomal infection or bleeding occur in up to 17% of patients, and some other drawbacks of gastric tubes, such as peristomal pain, are often understated. We present our technique for laparoscopic creation of a tubularized continent gastrostomy, originally conceived for the emergency treatment of patients with a dislodged percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, to provide them with a reliable new route for gastric feeding. After healing, this gastrostomy does not need an indwelling tube to stay patent, requires only a light gauze dressing and can be used by intermittent catheterization at conventional feeding times during the day. Laparoscopic tubularized continent gastrostomy can be offered to patients as a reliable alternative to tube gastrostomy.
