A Rare Complication of Laparoscopic-Assisted Percutaneous Gastrostomy Tube Placement Through the Posterior Gastric Wall.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Complications of gastrostomy tube placement and enteral feeding are common. However, most are minor and without serious adverse effects, such as superficial skin infections, peristomal leakage, tube dislodgement, and minor bleeding. Misplacement of a gastrostomy tube through the anterior and posterior gastric walls is a rare but serious complication. If not detected and corrected, it could have serious and potentially life-threatening consequences for the patient. We present a case of a 78-year-old male with acute stroke and resultant severe oropharyngeal dysphagia requiring long-term enteric feeding tube placement complicated by a malpositioned gastrostomy tube that was placed through both the anterior and posterior walls of the stomach during a laparoscopic procedure, resulting in coffee-ground hematemesis on the first postoperative day. Investigation revealed the malpositioned tube, which was surgically repaired on time without significant morbidity.
