When It's Not Pancreatitis, Don't Brush It Off: A Case Report of Small Bowel Perforation Caused by a Grill Brush Bristle Masquerading As Pancreatitis.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Injuries caused by grill brush bristle ingestion have been documented in the literature, but most existing literature focuses on consumer safety and increasing public awareness of potential injuries. Small bowel perforation is a serious complication and often difficult to diagnose since symptoms are frequently nonspecific and bristle localization can be challenging. We highlight a case where a diagnosis of acute pancreatitis was initially made by computerized tomography (CT) imaging but was later determined to be small bowel perforation with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
