Gastrostomy tract metastasis presenting as a large abdominal wall mass following percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: a case report.

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
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a standard method for providing enteral access in patients with obstructive aerodigestive cancer. However, gastrostomy tract metastasis is a rare but devastating complication in patient with aerodigestive cancers who have undergone PEG tube placement. Due to its rarity, the standard therapeutic approach remains undefined. We report the case of an 83-year-old male who developed gastrostomy tract metastasis following pull-type PEG tube placement, presenting as a large abdominal wall mass detected during surveillance following definite chemoradiation for locally advanced thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The patient underwent en bloc resection of the abdominal wall mass along with the PEG tube. The abdominal wall defect was closed using an inter-layer polyglactin mesh repair, followed by delayed split-thickness skin grafting.
