Gastropexy device impaction in children with push percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
One-step button percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (B-PEG) is a method for gastrostomy placement. Few studies have described complications associated with T-fasteners. This study aimed to assess the incidence and risk factors of post-gastrostomy T-bar retention. Children who underwent one-step button percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (B-PEG) placement in our tertiary center between 2009 and 2020 were included in this retrospective study. Patient characteristics, comorbidities, complications, and potential risk factors were analyzed. All post-procedure radiological examinations, T-bar numbers, and durations post-procedure were collected. T-bar retention was considered at least one T-bar after 6 weeks post-B-PEG. A total of 679 children (337 boys; median age at B-PEG, 1.7 years) were included. Among 483 patients with radiological examinations analyzed, 361 (74.7%) had at least one T-bar impaction at the first radiological examination (median time after B-PEG, 0.55 years). Younger age at B-PEG was a risk factor for T-bar impaction (odds ratio [OR]: 2.82, 95% confidence interval [CI]: [1.71-4.66], P < .0001). Nearly 75% of children presented T-bar impaction. These data indicate that to avoid gastropexy complications, discussion of early removal of T-fasteners post-B-PEG is warranted.
