A rare case of perforation of a colorectal tumor by a fish bone.
Article in Clinical journal of gastroenterology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The accidental ingestion of foreign bodies is a common clinical issue. While most foreign bodies pass through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract without complications, a few cases unfortunately result in GI perforation. Fish bones are one of the most frequent foreign bodies found in the GI tract, and they are high-risk objects for GI perforation due to their hard and sharp-pointed ends. Here, we present a rare case of a 64-year-old man with perforation of a colorectal tumor by a fish bone. The patient received emergency Hartmann's operation with lymph node dissection. Although the patient experienced recurrence in the liver rather than peritoneal dissemination, systemic chemotherapy was considerably effective, and conversion therapy with hepatectomy was successfully performed; the patient achieved 5-year relapse-free survival after the operation. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the perforation of a GI tumor by a fish bone. This rare case suggests the significant clinical implication that proper preoperative diagnosis and prompt surgical treatment lead to better postoperative outcomes for patients with tumor perforation by a foreign body.
