1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The aim of this article is to review the different treatment options for malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) and compare their safety and efficacy. We describe the history and evolution of gastrojejunostomy (GJ), endoscopic stenting and endoscopic ultrasonography-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) and analyze the current evidence regarding these three methods available in the literature, comparing their applicability, safety, complications and cost when used for the treatment of malignant GOO. We conclude that given the benefits of endoscopic techniques and the ability to place a stent away from the tumor, EUS-GE is a promising technique that may yield an efficacy similar to that of surgical GJ and duodenal stenting, with lower reintervention rates and fewer adverse events.
