Laparoscopic diagnosis and extraction of an ingested fish bone that penetrated the stomach: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
rationaleForeign body ingestion is a common clinical event, but serious complication such as perforation is uncommon. Here we present a case of gastrointestinal perforation caused by fish bone, which was treated effectively and successfully by totally laparoscopic management. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 63-year-old man who was admitted to our hospital with epigastric pain for 1 month. Computed tomography of the abdomen at the local hospital revealed a linear, hyperdense, foreign body in the lesser curvature of gastric antrum that had penetrated through the posterior wall of the gastric antrum. DIAGNOSIS: The laparoscopic exploration found that a 2.5 cm × 0.3 cm fish bone had penetrated through the posterior wall of the gastric antrum.
interventionsA totally laparoscopic surgery was performed to remove the foreign body and repair the perforation eventually. OUTCOMES: After surgery, the patient underwent uneventful recovery and was discharged on postoperative day 7. During the 3 months of follow-up visit, the patient appeared healthy and did not report abdominal symptoms. LESSONS: In this case, the advantages of laparoscopic techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal perforation caused by foreign body was confirmed, and which may be considered as the primary choice in similar cases.
