An Endoscopic Approach as a Salvage Strategy in Complicated Perforated Gastric Ulcer: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
A peptic ulcer is a common gastrointestinal condition, the most serious complication of which is perforation. This is often associated with high morbidity and mortality, particularly in patients taking chronic corticosteroids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Here, we present the case of a 44-year-old Mexican woman with rheumatoid arthritis who presented with acute abdominal pain and clinical signs of peritonitis. Diagnostic imaging confirmed a perforated prepyloric gastric ulcer with pneumoperitoneum. Following multiple unsuccessful surgical interventions due to tissue necrosis and persistent peritonitis, a controlled gastrocutaneous fistula was created using a Foley catheter to control the damage. Following clinical stabilization, persistent leakage prompted an endoscopic approach: the Foley catheter was replaced with a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy catheter using the Gauderer-Ponsky technique, two hemoclips were applied to achieve tight closure of the fistulous tract, and a nasojejunal catheter was inserted to restore enteral nutrition. The patient made a favorable clinical recovery, with resolution of the fistula and satisfactory re-establishment of nutrition, and was discharged home. This case illustrates an alternative salvage approach involving endoscopic techniques for damage control and nutritional restoration in patients with complicated gastric ulcer perforations and failed surgical treatment.
