Outcomes of colonic stent as a bridge to surgery
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundSelf-expandable metal stent (SEMS) as a bridge to surgery (BTS) has become a popular alternative to emergency surgery in the management of acute left-sided malignant colonic obstruction (MCO). However, it remains controversial for colonic stent as a BTS due to a lack of consensus and insufficient data.
aimTo assess the clinical and oncological safety of SEMS insertion followed by elective resection for acute left-sided MCO.
methodsThe data from 96 patients with acute left-sided MCO in our institution from January 2018 to May 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. They underwent colonic stenting as a bridge to elective surgery (BTS group:
resultsThe two groups were comparable with regard to the demographics and tumor characteristics. The stoma rate was 7.5% in the BTS group
conclusionThe utilization of SEMS as a BTS is a useful alternative to emergency surgery in the treatment of acute left-sided MCO. SEMS insertion as a BTS can provide an effective and safe therapeutic option compared to emergency surgery.
