Endoscopic treatment for a giant gastric bezoar: Sequential use of electrohydraulic lithotripsy, alligator forceps, and snares.
Article in JGH open : an open access journal of gastroenterology and hepatology, 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
A 62-year-old woman with no past history was referred to our hospital for endoscopic treatment of a large gastric bezoar measuring 10 cm in diameter. The bezoar had a hard surface and huge volume. A tunnel was created at the center of the bezoar using electrohydraulic lithotripsy and was dilated using a through-the-scope balloon. The bezoar was then gradually crushed using alligator forceps and snares to decrease the risk of intestinal obstruction by the crushed bezoar fragments. The sequential use of electrohydraulic lithotripsy, alligator forceps, and snares according to the therapeutic plan enabled the endoscopic treatment of the giant gastric bezoar without surgery.
