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

Foreign body ingestion is a common problem encountered at gastroenterology clinics and emergency rooms which can cause serious complications. Usually, foreign bodies are directly visible with flexible endoscopes and can be readily removed. However, when foreign bodies migrate into the deeper tissue of the esophagus, surgery is typically required. There is currently no consensus regarding the best treatment. In this report, we present two cases in which fish bones embedded in the submucosal and muscularis propria of the esophagus were successfully removed
