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

backgroundEndoscopic full-thickness resection is a common endoscopic procedure for treating gastrointestinal submucosal tumors. Nasogastric tube placement is frequently performed after abdominal surgery, but the routine use of this approach remains controversial. The aim of this research was to explore whether nasogastric tube placement after gastric endoscopic full-thickness resection is necessary.

methodsA retrospective study enrolled patients who underwent gastric endoscopic full-thickness resection in our hospital between January 2014 and January 2019, and all the patients had a tumor size ≤ 2 cm. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether a nasogastric tube was placed. Postprocedural adverse events and hospital stay duration were compared between the two groups using 1:1 propensity score matching.

resultsA total of 461 patients were enrolled in this study, including 385 patients in the nasogastric tube group (NGT group) and 76 patients in the non-nasogastric tube group (non-NGT group). After matching, the baseline characteristics of 73 patients in the NGT group and 73 patients in the non-NGT group were balanced (p > 0.05). The postprocedural fever rate in the NGT group was significantly higher than that in the non-NGT group (23.3% vs. 9.6%, p = 0.044). 6.9% (5/73) of patients experienced severe nasogastric tube-related throat discomfort. However, the duration of hospitalization stay was not different between the two groups.

conclusionsFor patients with tumor size ≤ 2 cm, routine nasogastric tube placement after gastric endoscopic full-thickness resection may be unnecessary.
