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

Gastric cancer is one of the most common diseases globally. Total gastrectomy is often performed surgically. However, late-stage anastomotic passage obstruction after total gastrectomy is relatively rare. Here, we report a case involving a 73-year-old male patient who experienced repeated aspiration pneumonia due to anastomotic passage obstruction 22 years after a total gastrectomy for gastric cancer. He was eventually hospitalized in the Department of Gastroenterology at our hospital because of difficulty eating. Computed tomography revealed prominent dilation of the esophagus and the blind end of the elevated jejunum. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a poorly extended site on the main side of the elevated jejunum; however, the passage through the scope was good. A percutaneous trans-esophageal gastrostomy was performed for oral intake. The patient experienced decreased nausea and vomiting. He gained weight, and his general condition improved. He did not feel inconvenienced by percutaneous trans-esophageal gastrostomy and had no desire for surgery. Follow-up observations are currently being conducted, with tubes exchanged every 6 months. There are no reports of percutaneous trans-esophageal gastrostomy for oral intake for anastomotic passage obstruction following total gastrectomy; therefore, we report this as a reference when similar cases are encountered.
