Clinical application of super-low-positioned intestinal decompression tube in the treatment of intestinal obstruction: a pilot study.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the clinical application and efficacy of a super-low-positioned intestinal decompression tube in the treatment of intestinal obstruction.
methodsA total of 130 patients with postoperative small bowel obstruction were included in this study. The patients were divided into a super-low-positioned intestinal decompression group and a conventional intestinal decompression group. The clinical data, treatment outcomes, and complications were compared between the two groups.
resultsThe technical success rate of placing the super-low-positioned intestinal decompression tube was 100%, with no intraoperative complications. The patients in the super-low-positioned intestinal decompression group had a significantly shorter hospital stay (8.3 ± 5.2 vs 17.7 ± 13.3, P < 0.001) and a higher non-operative treatment success rate (83.6% vs 57.9%, P = 0.001) compared to the conventional intestinal decompression group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the placement of a super-low-positioned intestinal decompression tube was an independent protective factor for treatment outcomes (P = 0.001). The hospital stay was significantly shorter in the super-low-positioned intestinal decompression group compared to the conventional group in both successful non-operative treatment patients (6.9 ± 3.0 vs 11.2 ± 7.5, P < 0.001) and failed non-operative treatment patients (16.2 ± 7.4 vs 26.6 ± 14.4, P < 0.001). The super-low-positioned intestinal decompression tube effectively relieved the "Self-strangulation" phenomenon in patients with intestinal obstruction.
conclusionThe super-low-positioned intestinal decompression tube is a safe and effective method for the treatment of intestinal obstruction, with better treatment outcomes and shorter hospital stays compared to conventional intestinal decompression. Further prospective studies are needed to validate these findings.
