Surgical Management of Massive Metal Bezoar.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Ingestion of foreign bodies is common within the pediatric population; in adults, it occurs more commonly in those with a psychiatric background. Diagnosis of such cases can be readily made based on plain abdominal X-rays. As reported, many foreign bodies pass through the gastrointestinal tract without complications, obstruction, bleeding, and perforation. The ultimate decision of the best management approach for such cases should be made based on the available expertise as well as the patient's specific factors. Observation, endoscopic removal, and surgical intervention are all acceptable approaches in cases of metal foreign body ingestion. We report a case of a 29-year-old male patient brought to the emergency department following ingestion of multiple sharp nails. He underwent surgical exploration, which resulted in the retrieval of 73 metallic nails.
