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

Intraoral foreign bodies (IOFBs) can be seen incidentally on computed tomography (CT) imaging and may mimic pathology. It is therefore important to identify the imaging features of a comestible intraoral foreign body and differentiate them from true pathology to avoid unwarranted patient distress and further imaging or procedures that are unnecessary and costly. This case describes a 31-year-old male who presented to the emergency room following a fall from an eight-foot height, with loss of consciousness for five minutes and right periorbital edema. Subsequent CT imaging of the facial bones revealed multiple facial and orbital fractures as well as a circumscribed, ovoid, hyperdensity with internal air pockets within the inferior left buccal space, which was diagnosed as an intraoral foreign body. Here, we aim to highlight the imaging features of this particular case of comestible intraoral foreign body.
