Bezoar in upper gastrointestinal endoscopy: A single center experience.

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
BACKGROUND/
aimsWe aimed to investigate the association of bezoar with endoscopic findings, risk factors for bezoar occurrence, and the success of endoscopic treatment in a tertiary center. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective study was conducted between January 2012 and December 2015. Overall, 8200 endoscopy records were examined and 66 patients with bezoar were included in the study.
resultsWe enrolled 29 (44%) female and 37 (56%) male patients in this study. The mean age of the patients was 63±9.4 years. The most frequent risk factors were history of gastrointestinal surgery (23%), diabetes mellitus (17%), trichophagia (9%), and anxiety disorder (6%). Gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, erosive gastritis, and reflux esophagitis were present in 27%, 11%, 20%, and 23% of the patients, respectively. While bezoars were most commonly observed in the stomach (70%), the majority of them were phytobezoars (91%). The mean number of interventions for each patient was 1.5 (range, 1-6). Endoscopy was successful in removing bezoars in 86.5% of the patients. Among those referred to surgery, seven patients underwent gastrostomy (10.5%); one (1.5%) patient underwent gastroenterostomy because of concomitant pyloric stenosis; and one (1.5%) patient underwent fistula repair surgery due to the development of duodenal fistula caused by bezoar.
conclusionThe findings of this study indicated that bezoars are more common among subjects with history of gastrointestinal surgery, diabetes mellitus, or psychiatric disorders; bezoars are closely related to peptic ulcer and reflux esophagitis; and they can be successfully treated with endoscopy.
