Successful treatment with laparoscopy-assisted surgery for ileal perforation due to an ingested foreign body: A report of two cases.

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
introductionPresently, the advantage of laparoscopic surgery is widely recognized and it is gaining popularity not only in elective abdominal surgeries but also in various kinds of emergent abdominal surgeries. This report describes two patients diagnosed with ileal perforation due to an ingested foreign body (FB)-a rare abdominal emergency-who were treated laparoscopically. PRESENTATION OF CASE: Both patients were brought in by an ambulance to our hospital, with complaints of increasing lower abdominal pain. Computed tomography scan revealed a small bowel perforation due to an ingested FB in both patients, and laparoscopy-assisted partial ileal resection was immediately performed. Their postoperative recoveries were uneventful. DISCUSSION: Both patients with this rare abdominal emergency were successfully treated with laparoscopic surgery. Its feasible diagnostic and therapeutic abilities and decreased invasiveness contributed to their uneventful and fast recoveries. Extracorporeal handling of the affected small bowel via mini-laparotomy was useful in this setting as it was safe, fast, and cost-effective.
conclusionLaparoscopic surgery is effective, even for this rare abdominal emergency. Moreover, laparoscopy-assisted surgery accompanying mini-laparotomy is a rational treatment approach, especially for this condition.
