    Malignant gastric outlet obstruction causes nausea, vomiting, poor oral intake, malnutrition, and reduced quality of life in patients with advanced malignancies.

  • 2

    Palliative options include surgical gastrojejunostomy, endoscopic stenting, and EUS-guided gastroenterostomy, each with trade-offs in durability, morbidity, and recovery.

  • 3

    The Bayesian network meta-analysis compared clinical success and reintervention, with adverse events, 30-day mortality, oral intake timing, hospital stay, and survival as secondary outcomes.

  • 4

    The analysis included 15 studies—7 randomized trials and 8 cohort studies—with 827 patients and evidence spanning all three treatment comparisons.

  • 5

    The primary network combined randomized and eligible comparative cohort evidence, with randomized-trial-only sensitivity analyses and study-design subgroup analyses assessing robustness.
