Foreign body embedded in the lower esophageal wall located by endoscopic ultrasonography: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
rationaleIngested esophageal foreign bodies are commonly seen in adult population. In very few instances, esophageal foreign body may pass through the mucosal surface, re-epithelialize or migrate into surrounding soft tissues. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 55-year-old Chinese male was admitted to our hospital with a 10-day history chest and upper abdominal pain without dysphasia, cough or other symptoms. DIAGNOSES: We initially suspected chronic gastritis, and thoracic computed tomography and endoscopy ultrasonography (EUS) were used to identify a fish bone completely embedded within the lower esophageal wall.
interventionsUnder the EUS-guidance, we marked the foreign body using methylene blue with saline solution, which was followed by successful thoracoscopy and surgical removed of the foreign body. OUTCOMES: The patient recovered well and was discharged 1 week postoperatively. One month postoperatively, the patient was symptom free and the chest wound was complete healed. LESSONS: Our case showed that computed tomography is necessary to diagnose the esophageal foreign body, and EUS may help confirm the position of foreign body, especially those embedded in the esophageal submucosa. We advocate necessary surgery at the first accurate diagnosis in patient with esophageal foreign body when endoscopy is not possible.
