1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Duodenal stenting is a widely used palliative treatment for gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) caused by unresectable malignancies. Compared to surgical gastrojejunostomy, duodenal stenting allows for earlier oral intake, shorter hospitalization, and earlier chemotherapy initiation. However, its long-term efficacy is limited by stent occlusion, which typically occurs 2-4 months post-procedure, due to tumor ingrowth, overgrowth, or food impaction. Covered stents can reduce tumor ingrowth but increase the migration risk, particularly in patients receiving chemotherapy. This review provides a comprehensive comparison of duodenal stenting, surgical gastrojejunostomy, and endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy, by discussing their clinical outcomes, advantages, and limitations. We further explore stent selection based on stricture characteristics, optimal placement techniques, post-procedural management, and for handling complications including occlusion, migration, bleeding, and perforation. Additionally, we address technical challenges and troubleshooting strategies, including management of guidewire-induced perforation, incomplete stent expansion, and bile duct obstruction for overlapping biliary and duodenal stricture cases. Despite its widespread clinical use, no prior review has comprehensively covered both the technical and clinical aspects of duodenal stenting so extensively. By providing a clinically oriented, practical guide, this review serves as a valuable resource for endoscopists and gastroenterologists, facilitating optimized decision-making and improved outcomes for patients with GOO in real-world practice.
