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

backgroundRemoval of self-expanding esophageal metal stents that have been implanted for a long time can be difficult and risky. PURPOSE: In this paper, we describe the use of the "inversion technique" under fluoroscopy for removal of self-expandable nitinol esophageal stents that have been placed for long periods and evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the method.

methodsRetrospective analysis of patients who underwent removal of self-expanding nitinol esophageal stents by the inversion technique under fluoroscopy at our center. Demographic characteristics, type of esophageal stents, stent retention time, reasons for stent removal, and related complications were collected from the case records and analyzed.

resultsA total of 112 metal esophageal stents (62 fully covered esophageal stents and 50 partially covered esophageal stents) were extracted from the 107 patients included in the study. Indications for stent implantation were malignant esophageal stenosis (27 patients), benign esophageal stenosis (42 patients), and esophageal fistula (38 patients). Median duration of stent retention was 77 days (29-727 days). All stents were removed successfully without major complications such as esophageal rupture, massive hemorrhage, asphyxia, or cardiorespiratory arrest.

conclusionInversion technique under fluoroscopy appears to be a safe, effective, and quick procedure for removal of self-expanding nitinol esophageal stent after long-term placement.
