Effectiveness of nasogastric tube decompression in mitigating delayed bleeding following endoscopic submucosal dissection for early gastric cancers.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsNasogastric tube decompression (NGTD) has been a standard practice following endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancers (EGCs) in clinical settings for several years. Nevertheless, there remains a dearth of research assessing the efficacy of NGTD in preventing delayed bleeding after ESD.
methodsFrom January 2021 to December 2022, eligible patients who underwent gastric ESD for EGCs were categorized into two groups: NGTD group and no NGTD group. A retrospective Propensity Score Matching (PSM) study was performed to analyzed the data.
resultsThe delayed bleeding rate did not exhibit a significant decrease in the NGTD group, when compared with the no NGTD group. In the multivariate analysis, the size of the resected lesion emerged as the sole predictive factor for delayed bleeding after ESD, as opposed to the use of NGTD. Moreover, our findings revealed that hospital stay and costs were higher in the NGTD group. (8 days vs 7 days, p = 0.033, 3348.19$ vs 2840.28$, p = 0.00, respectively).
conclusionThe utilization of NGTD showed no significant impact on delayed bleeding after ESD for EGCs and was correlated with hospital stay and costs. Therefore, the routine application of NGTD following ESD for EGCs may not be deemed necessary.
