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
introductionEsophagectomy is a highly invasive procedure, and early enteral nutrition supports recovery. Feeding jejunostomy is common but may cause fixation-related mechanical complications. To address these issues, a duodenostomy using the hepatic round ligament was adapted to a fully laparoscopic approach.
aimWe aimed to evaluate the feasibility and short-term outcomes of laparoscopic duodenostomy using the round ligament as enteral access during esophagectomy. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 26 consecutive patients who underwent esophagectomy with duodenostomy at a single institution: 15 by a standardized laparoscopic technique and 11 by historical minilaparotomy. The laparoscopic method routes a catheter through a round-ligament sleeve, with double purse-string fixation at the duodenal bulb and 3-point anchoring at the intestinal and abdominal wall sites. The primary outcomes were feasibility and timing of enteral feeding initiation. A tube-related infection was defined as local redness, swelling, purulent discharge, or abscess along the catheter tract or exit site, consistent with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria. Noninfectious tube-related complications included dislodgement, inversion, or obstruction due to kinking. Differences between the groups are presented descriptively.
resultsAll laparoscopic procedures achieved successful catheter placement. Enteral feeding began earlier after laparoscopy (median [interquartile range] postoperative day, 1 [1-2]) than minilaparotomy (2 [2-6]). Tube-related infection occurred in 0 of 15 laparoscopy procedures and 2 of 11 (18.2%) minilaparotomies, and noninfectious tube-related complications occurred in 1 of 15 patients (6.7%) from the former group and 1 of 11 (9.1%) from the latter.
conclusionsIn this small, single-center, retrospective, exploratory series, laparoscopic round-ligament duodenostomy was feasible and coherent with minimally-invasive esophagectomy, and may facilitate earlier enteral access while reducing fixation-related problems; these findings require confirmation in larger prospective studies.
