Roux-en-Y jejunostomy in gastroparesis: Insight into patient perspectives and outcomes.

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
backgroundGastroparesis is a chronic motility disorder characterized by delayed gastric emptying in the absence of mechanical obstruction. Patients with refractory gastroparesis often require enteral nutrition support, but traditional feeding methods such as nasojejunal tubes and percutaneous gastrojejunostomy tubes have significant limitations including frequent displacement, infection, and impact on quality of life.
aimTo explore patients' experience post insertion of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y jejunostomy in a cohort of eight adult patients with idiopathic gastroparesis.
methodsEight patients with idiopathic gastroparesis who underwent Roux-en-Y jejunostomy placement between 2019-2022 were interviewed about their pre- and post-procedure experiences. The procedure involves creating a jejunal limb anastomosed to the proximal jejunum in a Y-configuration, with the limb brought to the abdominal wall for feeding tube insertion. This is designed to reduce leakage by diverting intestinal contents away from the stoma. Topics included symptoms, nutrition, quality of life, and comparison to previous feeding methods.
resultsPost-procedure, all patients reported improvements in nausea/vomiting, and 87.5% noted reduced abdominal pain. Weight stabilized and oral intake improved in 75% of patients. Most (87.5%) described improved social confidence, increased energy, and better work/school functioning. Three patients (37.5%) eventually maintained adequate oral nutrition without jejunostomy. Minor complications included leakage (37.5%) and hypergranulation tissue. Half the cohort used supplemental gastric venting. Most patients (87.5%) preferred Roux-en-Y jejunostomy over previous feeding tubes and would undergo the procedure again.
conclusionDespite some challenges, Roux-en-Y jejunostomy led to notable improvements in symptoms, nutrition, and quality of life for most patients with refractory gastroparesis. It may be a viable option for long-term enteral nutrition support in carefully selected patients. Further research is needed to optimize patient selection and manage complications.
