1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) is emerging as a preferred approach for managing malignant gastric outlet obstruction. This technique offers a balance between the durability of surgical gastrojejunostomy (SGJ) and the minimally invasive nature of endoscopic methods. Compared to enteral stenting, EUS-GE shows superior outcomes, including higher long-term patency, lower symptom recurrence, and fewer reinterventions. It also demonstrates comparable or better efficacy than SGJ, with faster oral intake, shorter hospital stays, and reduced complications. However, EUS-GE requires specialized expertise, and long-term outcome data remain limited, so further research is needed to refine protocols and optimize patient selection.
