Buried Bumper Syndrome With Full Gastric Wall Penetration Managed With Delayed Replacement: A Conservative Approach.
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
Buried bumper syndrome is an uncommon but serious complication of gastrostomy tube placement, in which the internal bumper migrates into the gastric wall or beyond. Complications include bleeding, perforation, peritonitis, and death. We present a case of a 21-year-old man with Batten disease who presented with abdominal pain, swelling, and leakage from his gastrostomy tube. Imaging revealed that the balloon had advanced through the gastric wall, and an endoscopy was performed. Endoscopic examination revealed buried bumper syndrome with full gastric wall penetration. The tube was removed, and replacement was delayed for eight days to allow mucosal healing, with proton pump inhibitors used during this time. A new tube was successfully replaced. This case highlights an important learning point: delayed replacement can be a viable strategy in avoiding surgery in buried bumper syndrome when endoscopic placement is not otherwise feasible.
