Endoscopic management of malignant gastric outlet obstruction.
Article in Journal of the Chinese Medical Association : JCMA, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Malignant gastric outlet obstruction (MGOO) is a late complication of advanced malignancies, mostly occurring due to gastrointestinal cancers or external compression outside the lumen. It causes nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, weight loss, and decreased quality of life. In the past, surgical bypass was the gold standard for the management of MGOO. However, the introduction of self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) provides several advantages over surgical bypass, including earlier oral intake, rapid symptom relief, less invasiveness, and shorter hospital stays; therefore, it has replaced surgical bypass as the mainstream management approach in most situations. Although SEMS placement is a safe and effective way for palliation of MGOO, stent dysfunction with obstruction or migration limits the utilization and increases repeated intervention. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy with lumen-apposing metal stent has emerged as an alternative way to bypass the obstruction site and restore the oral intake of patients. Although a lower stent dysfunction rate was reported, further prospective studies are warranted to validate its effectiveness and safety.
