Short-Term Efficacy and Long-Term Limitations of Self-Expandable Metallic Stent Placement for Colorectal Obstruction due to Extracolonic Malignancies.

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
Objectives: Although previous studies have investigated colonic stenting for obstruction due to extracolonic malignancies (ECMs), long-term data-especially concerning quality of life and chemotherapy resumption-remain insufficient. Methods: Clinical data of 25 patients with ECM-induced colorectal obstruction were retrospectively analyzed. The primary endpoint was the obstruction-free duration after stenting. The secondary endpoints included successful stent placement, the clinical course after stent placement, and the outcomes of stent occlusion treatment. Results: Median age was 69 years, and gastric cancer was the most frequent primary malignancy. Obstruction was caused by peritoneal dissemination ( Conclusions: Colorectal stenting provides short-term symptomatic relief in ECM-induced obstruction; however, long-term outcomes were limited, likely due to the underlying advanced malignancies. Although secondary stent placement was technically feasible, its effectiveness in recurrent obstruction was poor.
