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

Ingestion of foreign bodies is a common medical problem frequently observed in children, psychiatric patients and prisoners. Various cases have been found in the medical literature, with different diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. We report a case of a 41-year-old male inmate, hospitalized for right upper quadrant pain of the abdomen due to the ingestion of two syringe needles two weeks previously. We describe the diagnostic procedure and the removal of one of the two needles that had migrated into the liver parenchyma, using a single-incision laparoscopic surgical technique. The operation was carried out safely through a 2.5 cm transverse incision below the umbilicus. The dissection and the removal of the foreign body were easily conducted under direct visualization using a minimally invasive surgical technique. Our case report demonstrates the efficacy and the security of the laparoscopic treatment in such a challenging area, employing a single port access only.
