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

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tubes are often placed in patients with head and neck malignancy for long-term nutritional support. Though rare, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma can metastasize to the percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube site and may initially present as a developing mass or as bleeding at the percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy site. Patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma should be evaluated diligently before and after percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy placement in order to avoid this rare but life-threatening complication. We present a case of tongue squamous cell carcinoma that metastasized to the percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube site causing gastrointestinal bleeding.
