1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

A lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) was placed across a benign gastrojejunostomy stricture in a patient with prior Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. The patient was lost to follow-up, and the stent remained indwelling for over 10 years without migration, bleeding, or perforation. Endoscopy revealed loss of the silicone covering with diffuse tissue ingrowth, and removal of the exposed nitinol wires required serial fragmentation. A new LAMS was subsequently placed to maintain the luminal patency, with follow-up arranged. We report the longest LAMS therapeutic dwell time, highlighting its favorable long-term biocompatibility in this case. As an isolated observation, it is hypothesis-generating and suggests that prolonged indwelling tolerance may occasionally occur in rare circumstances.
