Etiological aspects of intragastric bezoars and its associations to the gastric function implications: A case report and a literature review.
Review in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
rationaleIntragastric bezoar is a stony mass found trapped in the stomach, though it can occur in other locations of the gastro-intestinal tract. The etiology of intragastric bezoar is multifactorial, includes certain risk factors and predisposing factors such as coexisting medical disorders, anatomic abnormalities, and gastric motility disorders, which contribute to the development of intragastric bezoar. PATIENT CONCERNS: In this report, we present a rare case of intragastric bezoar with epigastric pain after prolonged consumption of jujubes. To our knowledge, this is the first case of intragastric bezoar to be reported after jujubes ingestion. DIAGNOSES: An upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy performed which revealed an 8 × 5-cm intragastric diospyrobezoar with an adjacent necrotic pressure ulcer of size 0.8 × 0.5-cm without signs of bleeding.
interventionsFor therapeutic intervention, Coca-Cola ingestion and lithotripsy were applied. OUTCOMES: The therapeutic course was uneventful. There was no recurrence during 1-year follow-up. LESSONS: In our literature, jujube emerged as a new player. A bezoar composed of unripened fruit content in the stomach, could be the cause of chronic abdominal pain, dyspepsia, gastric reflux or heartburn. Moreover, this study provides a detailed overview of recently published literature regarding intragastric manifestations of bezoar, etiological factors, diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
