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
Intentional foreign body ingestion is the phenomenon wherein one swallows a non-digestible object with the intent to cause self-injury. It is intentional in adult patients with a positive psychiatric history and can be a recurrent issue. Although the incidence of this condition is increasing, there are few existing articles on the subject that highlight its importance. This case report aims to present a unique patient encounter to emphasize the multispecialty approach required for management and provide an overview of the literature available on the subject regarding types of objects swallowed, selection of appropriate imaging modalities, and plans of management.
