A Single-center 12-year Experience of Patients with Gastrointestinal Bezoars.
Article in The Korean journal of gastroenterology = Taehan Sohwagi Hakhoe chi, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Background/Aims: Gastrointestinal (GI) bezoars are relatively rare diseases with clinical characteristics and treatment modalities that depend on the location of the bezoars. This study evaluated the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes in patients with GI bezoars. Methods: Seventy-five patients diagnosed with GI bezoars were enrolled in this study. Data were collected on the demographic and clinical characteristics and the characteristics of the bezoars, such as type, size, location, treatment modality, and clinical outcomes. Results: Among the 75 patients (mean age 71.2 years, 38 males), 32 (42.6%) had a history of intra-abdominal surgery. Hypertension (43%) and diabetes (30%) were common morbidities. The common location of the bezoars was the stomach in 33 (44%) and the small intestine in 33 (44%). Non-surgical management, including adequate hydration, chemical dissolution, and endoscopic removal, was successful in 2/2 patients with esophageal bezoars, 26/33 patients with gastric bezoars, 7/9 patients with duodenal bezoars, and 20/33 patients with small intestinal bezoars. The remaining patients had undergone surgical management. Conclusions: The management of GI bezoars requires multidisciplinary approaches, including the appropriate correction of fluid and electrolyte imbalances, chemical dissolution, and endoscopic and surgical treatments.
