Wrong Foot Forward - A Rare Injury by Indian Tiffin Box.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionAlthough the penetrating injuries to the foot are common and sometimes they may be associated with calcaneum fracture, this case highlights a very rare injury by relatively harmless "Indian tiffin box." CASE REPORT: A 30-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a history of stepping over the Indian tiffin box. He presented with a tiffin box embedded in his right sole with food particles (pulses) inside the wound. It was associated with undisplaced, extra-articular fracture of calcaneus. Contamination with food particles and delayed presentation had added extra risk of infection. Aggressive management by wound lavage, debridement, and intravenous antibiotics has prevented the delayed complication like osteomyelitis.
conclusionHarmless-looking tiffin box can cause significant injury. Evaluation and proper management of soft-tissue involvement, especially heel pad, is very important due to its association to outcome. Proper documentation is equally important to avoid tricky medicolegal situations.
