Entrapment of a metal foreign body in the heart during surgical procedure: A case report and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 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
A rongeur had been used to remove thin bones in both orthopedic surgery and neurosurgery, featured with a tip holding and cutting bone effectively while protecting the underlying instruments. The authors describe a case of a 40-year-old man who proceeded with the second lumbar vertebrae osteotomy and presented to be ankylosing spondylitis with kyphosis and limited mobility for 10 years. During the surgery, we found that the rongeur tip was missing. C-arm fluoroscopy showed the high-density body just in front of the vertebral body intraoperatively. However, the CT scan showed the foreign body migrated to the right auricle of the heart postoperatively. This case is unique in that there was no exact vessel injury detected intraoperatively. There were few reports about the surgical instrument migrating to the heart. Our case showed the rare experience of the function of multidisciplinary collaboration in the migration of foreign bodies in the cervical spinal canal.
