Fish Hook as Foreign Body: Not All Foreign Bodies Can Be Fished Out of the Esophagus With Endoscopy Alone.

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
A 75-year-old male presented to the hospital with acute onset of neck pain. Although the patient did not report known ingestion of a foreign body, there was evidence of a fish hook in the cervical esophagus on plain neck radiography. Due to the location at the upper esophageal sphincter in the hypopharynx, the foreign body was not retrievable by endoscopy alone and required better visualization and airway protection with direct laryngoscopy and rigid esophagoscopy. A fish hook was promptly retrieved within 24 hours of the patient's presentation and his symptoms resolved without complications. We report this unusual case to emphasize the importance of proper food preparation, thoroughly chewing food before swallowing, and prompt management of foreign body ingestion in adults.
