Optimizing nutritional support in upper gastrointestinal surgery: A comprehensive review of feeding jejunostomy techniques and outcomes.
Review in World journal of gastrointestinal surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This minireview synthesizes literature on the use of feeding jejunostomy tubes (FJTs) in the postoperative management of gastroesophageal cancer patients. Gastrectomy and esophagectomy remain the primary curative treatments for gastric and esophageal cancers, respectively, but are frequently accompanied by significant postoperative malnutrition, which adversely impacts surgical and oncological outcomes as well as patients' quality of life. To address this, the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Surgery and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network recommend early enteral feeding through FJT placement following major surgery. While previous studies have demonstrated that FJT is an effective and reliable route for nutritional support, its placement is invasive and carries associated risks. Consequently, many clinicians opt for less invasive alternatives such as total parenteral nutrition or nasogastric tube feeding, although these approaches yield variable results. This review explores the benefits and potential complications of FJT placement, identifies variability in clinical adoption and the absence of standardized protocols, and highlights areas for future research to optimize patient care in this challenging context.
