Efficacy of uncovered self-expandable metallic stent for colorectal obstruction by extracolonic malignancy.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal oncology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundSelf-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) is widely used for malignant colorectal obstruction. Recently, SEMS has been used for palliative option for colorectal obstruction caused by extracolonic malignancy (ECM).
aimTo evaluate the efficacy of SEMS for colorectal obstruction caused by ECM, and to identify the factors associated with stent occlusion.
methodsSeventy-two patients who were treated with uncovered SEMS insertion for malignant colorectal obstructions caused by colorectal metastasis or peritoneal seeding of ECM at Samsung Medical Center between April 2012 to March 2016 were enrolled. We analyzed technical and clinical outcomes of stent insertion, the factors associated with stent occlusion and long term outcomes after stent insertion.
resultsTechnical success rate was determined as 90.3% with a clinical success rate of 87.7%. Stent occlusion developed in 28.1%, with a median duration of 51 d. Further, 81.3% with stent occlusion could be treated with secondary stent insertion. Clinical failure was observed to be related to the male sex (
conclusionUncovered SEMS is effective for the treatment of colorectal obstruction caused by ECM, considering life expectancy of patients with ECM.
