Successful removal of multiple magnetic foreign bodies in the digestive tract of children by gastroscopy: Two case reports.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
rationaleGastrointestinal foreign body (FB) is an emergency commonly encountered by the pediatric gastroenterology department. Management of their extraction requires knowledge and careful consideration of removal techniques. PATIENT CONCERNS: Two little girls swallowed multiple magnets that stuck together for >3 days, which was an indication for surgery. DIAGNOSIS: X-ray revealed dense shadows in the left abdomen. However, the abdominal examination revealed a soft abdomen without tenderness, rebound tenderness, or muscle rigidity.
interventionThe multiple magnets were removed by endoscopy instead of surgery. OUTCOME: We conducted sufficient preoperative assessment and preparation. Eventually, we successfully removed the multiple magnets by endoscopy, and no perforation or fistula formation was observed. Surgery was avoided. LESSONS: Swallowing multiple magnets isn't a rare emergency in children. Physicians must be aware that surgery is not the only option even if multiple magnets are swallowed for >12 hours. Endoscopic removal can be considered if there is no obstruction, perforation, or fistula formation upon careful patient assessment. If endoscopic removal fails, surgical treatment should be performed as soon as possible to avoid serious complications.
