Knotted Nasogastric Tube Removed With a Bronchoscope.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Nasogastric (NG) tube insertion is a routine procedure performed for a variety of indications, such as delivering enteral nutrition. NG tubes can be associated with complications, including knotting of the tube. The case of a 68-year-old who was admitted to the hospital for AIDS complicated by septic shock is presented. The patient received an NG tube to provide enteral nutrition, which was subsequently found to be clogged. An X-ray of the pharynx revealed a knot at the distal end of the NG tube. The knotted NG tube was removed with a fiberoptic bronchoscope through the nostril. The knotting of an NG tube is a rare complication. Clinicians should be aware of alternative methods of removing knotted NG tubes, including the use of a fiberoptic bronchoscope.
