1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The incidence of foreign body ingestion has increased during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. As face masks became increasingly available, we report a case of accidental ingestion of the metal strip insert of a surgical mask. After initially progressing, its progress halted after 24 hours. This case highlights the challenges of timing the endoscopic removal of long objects, especially considering the reduced endoscopic availability during the pandemic. Despite only causing local trauma, the strip was impacted at the duodenojejunal flexure with the potential to cause obstruction. Limiting morbidity relies on urgent removal and prevention of similar ingestions by emphasizing the safe use and storage of masks.
