Imaging of pediatric gastrostomy tube malposition: Pearls and pitfalls.
Review in World journal of radiology, 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
This pictorial review discusses the imaging approach to evaluate for proper placement or complications of pediatric gastrostomy tube (G-tube) placement and long-term use. G-tubes are crucial for long-term nutritional support in patients facing challenges with oral intake. The article depicts the role of imaging such as contrast radiography, fluoroscopy, ultrasound, and computed tomography scans for confirming G-tube position and evaluating complications, in addition to basic anatomical considerations and placement techniques. Complications discussed include malposition, intraperitoneal placement, buried bumper syndrome, and tube malfunction. Specific imaging techniques and checklists are provided to guide clinicians in assessing G-tube placement accurately. The latter half of the review is a comprehensive exploration of pearls and pitfalls of imaging when employed to detect complications to avoid false positives and negatives.
