Intussusception following feeding jejunostomy in a post-esophagectomy patient: a rare complication and its surgical management.

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
Feeding jejunostomy is performed commonly following esophagectomy to ensure postoperative nutritional support. However, it can occasionally lead to rare complications, such as intussusception. Adult intussusception, especially secondary to a feeding jejunostomy, is an uncommon occurrence. Timely diagnosis and surgical intervention are essential to treat this potentially life-threatening condition. We report a 69-year-old male, who has received neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by a thoraco-laparoscopic Ivor Lewis esophagectomy and a feeding jejunostomy. The immediate postoperative course was uneventful. However he presented with acute abdominal symptoms at 6 weeks. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan of the abdomen revealed intussusception at the site of the feeding jejunostomy. The patient underwent emergency exploratory laparotomy, where the diagnosis was confirmed, and resection and anastomosis of the involved bowel segment was performed. This case highlights a rare complication of jejunostomy-induced intussusception. A high index of suspicion and prompt surgical management are crucial to prevent adverse outcomes in such cases.
