Less is More: Nasogastric Tube Perforation in a Patient With Prior Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass.

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
Nasogastric (NG) tube placement is a routine inpatient procedure that is generally considered safe. NG perforation is a rare complication, but when it occurs, it is often serious or even deadly. The risk for perforation is increased in patients with a history of connective tissue disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, or prior abdominal surgeries such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYB). We present a fatal case of a 51-year-old woman with a recent RYB who suffered an NG-tube perforation leading to peritonitis and septic shock. This case highlights the extreme care healthcare providers must have when placing NG tubes in patients with prior abdominal surgeries, while offering suggestions on how to minimize the risk of fatal complications.
