Gossypiboma: An Unintentional Iatrogenic Error.

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
Unintentional retention of a surgical gauze following a surgical intervention is uncommon but the complications can sometimes be life-threatening. Its diagnosis is challenging due to varied clinical presentations and inconclusive radiographic findings. We put forth a case which reported to us complaining of pain, swelling, pus discharge and sinus opening prejudicing our clinical and radiographic diagnosis to be a residual cyst but turned out to be unintentionally retained surgical gauze with encapsulation. The use of relatively bigger sized surgical gauze and ensuring a correct surgical gauze count intraoperatively in addition to checking the surgical site thoroughly before initiating surgical site closure is a gold standard to prevent such mishaps.
