A simplified technique for laparoscopic feeding jejunostomy and its outcomes.
Article in Journal of minimal access surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
abstractFeeding jejunostomy (FJ) is essential for patients with absolute dysphagia, providing a critical means of nutrition. Despite various techniques being described in the literature, there is no standardized, cost-effective approach for laparoscopic FJ. This study aims to describe a modified, simplified laparoscopic FJ technique and assess its safety, feasibility, and cost-effectiveness. A case series of 30 patients who underwent laparoscopic FJ between June and December 2022 was evaluated. The mean age of the patients was 29 ± 1.2 years, with an average operating time of 46.5 ± 9 minutes. Intraoperative blood loss was minimal, and there were no major complications during the hospital stay. Only one minor complication, catheter displacement, occurred during the 1-month follow-up. The average hospital stay was 2 ± 0.66 days. The cost of the procedure was compared to existing commercial kits in India, demonstrating significant savings. The findings suggest that the modified laparoscopic FJ technique is a safe, feasible, and cost-effective alternative, offering a simplified approach with minimal complications and a short hospital stay. Further studies with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up are needed to validate these results.
