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

A case of migration of a foreign body from the stomach to the thoracic esophagus is described. The bullet was successfully retrieved endoscopically after exploratory laparotomy was performed to address the patient's injuries. Enteral migration of bullets is a rare phenomenon that should be considered when the location of retained ballistic fragments is inconsistent with gunshot wounds and expected trajectories.
