Relationship of early acute complications and insertion site in push method percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy.
Article in Scientific reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG), which is frequently used for nutrition management in patients having difficulty with oral intake, is considered a safe procedure. However, serious complications may occur depending on site of the puncture. This study aimed to clarify whether push method PEG construction at the posterior wall (PW) of the greater curvature (GC) had a higher risk of complications. We retrospectively investigated the relationship between puncture site at the PW of the GC and early acute complications in 540 patients receiving PEG. Early acute complications were defined as bleeding or perforation within 30 days after the PEG procedure. PEG-related complications were observed in 80 patients in total, with early acute complications detected in 42 patients. PEG construction at the PW of the GC in 12 cases exhibited a significantly higher occurrence of early acute complications versus PEG at other sites (41.7% vs. 7.0%, p = 0.001). Further, multivariate analysis revealed PW at the GC to be independently associated with early acute complications (OR 9.59, 95% CI 2.82-32.61; p = 0.0003). It may be desirable to avoid PEG at the PW of the GC. If performed, clinicians should pay careful attention to early acute complications.
