Clinical predictors of surgical intervention for gastrointestinal magnetic foreign bodies in children.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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/
aimsTo investigate the clinical situation, treatment methods, and clinical predictors of surgical intervention in children with magnetic foreign bodies in the digestive tract. MATERIALS AND
methodsFrom January 2019 to June 2022, we retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 72 children who ingested magnetic foreign bodies inadvertently in our hospital, including their general information, admissions, clinical manifestations, and treatment methods, as well as pertinent literature and statistical data. Following software processing, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine the independent risk factors of this study.
resultsIn this study, 16 patients (22.2%) were discharged smoothly following conservative treatment and 19 patients (26.4%) were cured by gastroscopy. The remaining 37 patients (51.4%) were underwent surgery, in which 26 cases developed gastrointestinal perforation. There were statistical differences between surgery group and non- surgery group in the days of eating by mistake, clinical manifestations (nausea and vomiting, intermittent abdominal pain, abdominal muscle tension) and movement trajectory by every 24-h radiograph (P < 0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that intermittent abdominal pain and abdominal muscle tension were independent risk factors for surgical treatment.
conclusionMagnetic foreign bodies seriously endanger children's health. This study offers a single-center basis for the choice of surgical opportunity for intestinal obstruction or perforation caused by magnetic foreign bodies. Clinicians need immediate surgical intervention if the child shows symptoms of abdominal pain or abdominal tension.
