Pre-Stroke Frailty and Outcomes following Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy Tube Insertion.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundFrailty is common in stroke, where it exerts disease- and treatment-modifying effects. However, there has been little work evaluating how frailty influences outcomes after percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube insertion. This study investigates the relationship between pre-stroke frailty and one-year mortality following PEG insertion.
methodsA pre-stroke frailty index (FI) was calculated for individuals with post-stroke dysphagia who underwent PEG insertion between March 2019 and February 2021. Mortality was recorded at one year, as well as instances of post-PEG pneumonia and discharge destination.
resultsTwenty-nine individuals underwent PEG insertion, eleven (37.9%) of whom died in the subsequent year. The mean (SD) FI for those who survived was 0.10 (0.09), compared to 0.27 (0.19) for those who died (
conclusionsPre-stroke frailty is associated with increased one-year mortality after PEG, a finding that may help inform shared clinical decision-making in complex decisions regarding PEG feeding.
