Clinical characteristics and pathogens in percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy site infection in patients with head and neck cancer: A 16-year retrospective study.
Article in Laryngoscope investigative otolaryngology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectivesWound infection is the most common complication associated with percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) placement, with an incidence between 4% and 30%. In this study, we compared the characteristics of PEG site infection between the head and neck cancer (HNC) group and the non-HNC group.
methodsThis study was conducted at Kangdong Sacred Heart Hospital at the Ilsong Head and Neck Cancer Center. We retrospectively collected and analyzed data on patients who underwent PEG insertion from October 2003 to May 2019 to evaluate the risk factors and microbiological etiologies of PEG site infection.
resultsA total of 316 (HNC group [n = 129] and non-HNC group [n = 187]) patients undergoing PEG insertion were included in this study. Moreover, 67 episodes of PEG site infection were diagnosed, with an overall prevalence of 21.2%. PEG site infections were significantly higher in the HNC group than in the non-HNC group (32.6% vs 13.4%,
