Giant gastric bezoar removal from the stomach using combined dual knife-electric snare treatment: a case report.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Gastric bezoars are foreign bodies that occur when certain drugs or foods aggregate in the stomach. They cannot be digested and most are unable to pass through the pylorus. Here, we describe a giant hard gastric bezoar that was removed by using combined dual knife-electric snare treatment. This strategy has rarely been reported and can eliminate the need for surgery. The patient exhibited a giant hard gastric bezoar and reported a habit of eating persimmons. A giant persimmon bezoar was treated using a combined dual knife-electric snare approach, without any complications. Follow-up endoscopy revealed that the bezoar had been successfully removed. This report also provides a summary of the diagnostic and therapeutic courses of gastric bezoars.
