A curious case of a comestible cough candy.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
An 80-year-old woman was seen in the Emergency Department with a history of left jaw pain and headaches, as well as numerous additional comorbidities. Computed tomography examination of the head and face found a circumscribed, ovoid, markedly hyperattenuating mass with areas of internal air within the left buccal space - the density of which was neither that of metal nor bone. After speaking with the patient, she reported having a cough candy in her mouth during the examination. Here we review the imaging appearance of an unusual case of a comestible intraoral foreign body so as to raise awareness of this incidental pseudolesion. Correct recognition of this as an intraoral foreign body rather than true pathology of the oral cavity is important as to save patients the anguish of a significant, albeit incorrect, diagnosis and avoid the additional cost and resource utilization of unnecessary further investigations.
