Endoscopic Management of Unusual Bezoar in a Prader-Willi Syndrome Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 occurs due to the ingestion of inedible material. The most common bezoar is a phytobezoar, which results from the ingestion of indigestible food particles found in vegetables and fruits. Other types include trichobezoar, which involves hair, lactobezoar, which involves milk products, pharmacobezoar, which involves medication, and in unusual cases, bezoar may involve different materials such as metals, plastics, and paper. We are presenting a case of a 19-year-old patient, a known case of Prader-Willi syndrome, who presented with difficulty breathing and tachypnea after aspiration of grape particles, and then he started to complain of melena and vomiting of dark content. He was admitted for urgent bronchoscopy and endoscopy, which showed a bezoar composed of grapes and threads. He was managed endoscopically by removing most of the threads and grape particles and releasing the tangled threads to facilitate its migration distally. Follow-up endoscopy showed complete resolution of the previously noticed content. We reported this case to discuss the endoscopic management of unusual bezoar involving threads.
