Endoscopic Duodenal Stent Placement for Malignant Gastric Outlet Obstruction Using the Balloon Anchoring Method.
Article in Clinical case reports, 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
Endoscopic duodenal stent placement, a widely used procedure for managing malignant gastric outlet obstruction, has a high technical and clinical success rate. However, precise confirmation of stricture site during the procedure is sometimes challenging. This case report introduces a novel balloon anchoring method to address this challenge. An 87-year-old female diagnosed with gastric outlet obstruction due to pancreatic cancer underwent endoscopic duodenal stent placement. However, the stricture site was unclear on fluoroscopic imaging. A balloon catheter was inserted beyond the stricture, inflated, and retracted toward the oral side. The balloon was anchored on the anal side of the stricture, facilitating precise stricture site confirmation. Subsequently, an uncovered duodenal metal stent was successfully placed. The procedure was completed without adverse events, and the patient resumed eating the following day. By using the balloon anchoring method, duodenal stricture can be easily and accurately evaluated. After confirming the stricture, a duodenal stent can be placed at the optimal position. We believe this technique will contribute to the safety and reliability of the procedure.
