Title: Multivariate analysis of factors associated with the successful prediction of initial blind
placement of a nasointestinal tube in the stomach based on X-ray imaging: a retrospective,
single-center study

Reviewer's report:
This article offers an interesting way to quantify variants in anatomy that make blind NET
placement challenging. However, it is only possible to make those calculations once a tube is
placed and therefore practically, it is not helpful to determine if the practitioner will have success
with blind NET placement.  Furthermore, the radiographic interpretation is not standard so even
if you have an image to review prior to blind placement, it is unclear how helpful this information
would be.
