A Simple Method for Removing Recyclable Metal Stents via Endoscopy: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in gastroenterology. 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
Introduction: Gastrointestinal tract stenosis is a common pathological condition encountered in clinical practice, caused by various factors such as malignant tumors, postoperative anastomotic strictures, radiation injury, or inflammatory diseases like Crohn's disease. It often leads to serious complications, including dysphagia, obstruction, and malnutrition. Endoscopic metal stent placement has become a key treatment for alleviating both benign and malignant stenosis due to its minimally invasive nature, effectiveness, and repeatability. However, stent displacement is one of the most frequent complications, and its management requires a comprehensive approach based on the type of displacement (partial or complete), clinical symptoms, and anatomical location. Endoscopy is the preferred intervention method, and multidisciplinary collaboration can optimize patient outcomes. Case Presentation: A 22-year-old male patient developed persistent nausea and vomiting 2 months ago after accidentally ingesting toilet cleaner. Gastroscopy revealed pyloric obstruction. After admission, a covered intestinal metal stent was placed. Two days later, the stent had migrated distally beyond the narrowed intestinal lumen. We attempted to directly remove the displaced stent under endoscopic visualization. However, the procedure was unsuccessful. Subsequently, we safely removed recyclable metal stents directly using a simple method: a transparent cap-fitted endoscope inserted through the forceps channel to control the stent's retrieval line. Conclusion: Our method of controlling the retrieval thread of the metal stent through endoscopic forceps to remove the displaced stent is feasible, safe, and effective.
