Phytobezoar: An Unusual Condition Leading to Small Bowel Obstruction.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Bezoar is described as a swallowed, extraneous, and indigestible mass located in the gastrointestinal system; it accounts for 0.4-4.0% of all cases of mechanical intestinal obstruction. Intestinal obstruction is the most frequent complication of bezoar formation. Apart from intestinal obstructions, bezoars may also exhibit clinical symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, and gastric perforation. However, a considerable number of cases tend to be asymptomatic. Of note, its clinical symptoms cannot be differentiated easily from intestinal obstructions caused by other factors. As such, preoperative CT examination can provide invaluable information about the level of obstruction, etiology, and the existence of additional pathology and thereby help plan the type of surgical procedure required. If prompt diagnosis and timely treatment are not carried out, the condition may lead to significant morbidity and mortality.
