Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2026. 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
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) provides long-term enteral nutritional access. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility, indications, success rates and complications associated with PEG. A retrospective descriptive study was conducted on 93 patients between 2020 and 2023 at Sheikh Khalifa University Hospital. Epidemiological, clinical and biological data were analysed. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify factors associated with complications. The mean age was 70 ± 14 years; 72% were men. The main indications were neurological (76%) and ENT (24%). The success rate was 100%. Minor complications were observed in 7.5%: peristomal infection (2.1%), obstruction (3.2%), leakage (2.1%). Significant predictive factors were intensive care unit admission (p < 0.0001), hypoalbuminaemia < 30 g/L (ORa: 15.5; 95% CI: 1.77-135.6; p = 0.0042) and neurological indication (ORa: 6.1; 95% CI: 1.11-33.55; p = 0.0335). PEG is a safe and effective technique for prolonged nutritional access, with a low complication rate when preventive measures are followed.
