Stents and Emerging Alternatives in Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy: A Comprehensive Review.
Review in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Endoscopy has revolutionized the management of gastrointestinal (GI) conditions, enabling less invasive treatments for cases that once required surgery. Among these innovations, endoscopically placed stents have played a crucial role in the treatment of upper GI tract diseases for many years. Today, stents remain a valid first-line treatment for specific indications; however, advancements in endoscopic technologies have led to a reassessment of their role in some conditions. While stents are still the primary choice for palliation of malignant esophageal strictures, endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT) has demonstrated superior outcomes for esophageal leaks, and Endoscopic UltraSonography-guided placement of lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) has outperformed traditional stents in gastric obstructions. This review evaluates current stent indications, highlighting upper GI conditions where they remain the best option, while also exploring emerging technologies and updated clinical guidelines to optimize patient care.
