Persistent Ostomy Following Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy Removal: Treatment Strategies.
Review in Current gastroenterology reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purpose of reviewThe purpose of this article is to review available literature on management of persistent ostomy following PEG tube removal. We will discuss the incidence of persistent gastrocutaneous fistula (GCF) following PEG tube removal, risk factors for their development, and management strategies that have been proposed and their efficacy. RECENT
findingsThe use of over the scope clips (OTSC) have evolved recently in the management of gastrointestinal bleeding, perforation, and fistula closures. OTSC has become more readily available and proven to be effective and safe. Suturing devices have shown promising results. Persistent gastrocutaneous fistula following PEG removal is a rare yet serious complication that can lead to continuous skin irritation and leakage of gastric contents and acid. There are several postulated risk factors but the most important of these is duration of placement. Management can include medical therapy which has recently been shown to be somewhat effective, endoscopic therapy and surgery as a last resort. Overall, the data on GCFs is limited and further study with larger sample size is needed.
