1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The accidental ingestion of a press-through package (PTP) sheet is associated with the risk of gastrointestinal injury and puncture. When pain occurs in the laryngeal pharynx, the PTP may already be stuck in the upper esophageal region, and urgent endoscopic treatment is necessary. A plain chest X-ray image should be performed first to identify the ingested PTP, but this was not successful in the present two patients. As a next step, a CT scan (which involves high radiation exposure) is commonly used. In our patients (a 76-year-old woman and a 59-year-old man), tomosynthesis was used to confirm the presence and location of a PTP sheet as a pre-endoscopic diagnosis. With tomosynthesis, the level of radiation exposure was reduced to approx. 1/10 of that of simple CT; the imaging time is also shorter at ~ 5 s. Tomosynthesis can be performed at approx. 1/3-1/4 the cost of simple CT. The usefulness of tomosynthesis as a pre-endoscopic diagnostic tool was demonstrated in our patients, and its further utilization is expected.
