Intentional Ingestion of a Foreign Body - Why We Need Psychiatrists.
Article in Middle East journal of digestive diseases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Foreign body ingestions are common medical emergencies. In adults, foreign body ingestions occur in patients with psychiatric disorders and prison inmates. A majority (80-90%) of foreign bodies pass spontaneously. Endoscopic and surgical interventions are required in only 10-20% and 1%, respectively. A plain radiograph may be the only diagnostic test required. A computed tomography scan may be needed when a perforation is suspected. Food boluses are the most commonly ingested foreign bodies. Snare and rat tooth forceps are frequently used accessories for the retrieval of foreign bodies. The focus of the emergency team is on the management of an acute case of foreign body ingestion, and the psychiatric aspect of the disease gets often ignored.
