A Case of Chronic Intestinal Pseudo-Obstruction Managed With Percutaneous Endoscopic Transgastric Jejunostomy (PEG-J).

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
Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is a rare, debilitating gastrointestinal motility disorder characterized by symptoms of intestinal obstruction in the absence of a mechanical cause. Although no definitive treatment currently exists, multidisciplinary therapies such as percutaneous endoscopic transgastric jejunostomy (PEG-J) for intestinal decompression have improved symptom control, enabled the partial resumption of oral intake, and facilitated a transition to outpatient management. We report the case of a 65-year-old woman who was diagnosed with CIPO following emergency surgery for a small bowel volvulus. Given her progressive symptoms requiring sustained intestinal decompression, PEG-J was placed. Intermittent decompression via PEG-J resulted in considerable symptom relief, the partial resumption of oral intake, and a reduced need for repeated hospitalization. Owing to high-output drainage of approximately 2,000 mL/day, home parenteral nutrition was initiated in combination with PEG-J, enabling a successful transition to home-based care.
