Case report: caught by the pill cam…literally.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Small bowel obstructions are a common general surgery occurrence. In a patient with prior abdominal surgeries, the usual diagnosis is secondary to adhesions. The management is typically conservative, which usually avoids operative intervention. Computed tomography (CT) scans help diagnosticians take a snapshot inside the abdomen; however, CT scans are not perfect and intra-abdominal pathologies can be missed requiring surgery. We present a case of an atypical small bowel obstruction. The initial CT scan showed a transition point in the right lower quadrant, which was managed non-operatively. One week later, the patient then re-presented with hematochezia following an outpatient pill cam procedure. Imaging showed the presence of a new small bowel mass, which was not seen on imaging done 1 week ago or from 10 months prior. He was then taken for a diagnostic laparoscopy, in which a small bowel mass was found, pathology positive for recurrent renal cell carcinoma.
