Bullet Embolization After a Penetrating Gunshot Wound: A Case Report.
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
Bullet embolization is an uncommon event after a penetrating gunshot wound. This phenomenon can occur in the venous or arterial vasculature, and patients can present with various symptoms. Physicians need to be familiar with the indications to suspect bullet embolization in patients with gunshot wounds to avoid crucial complications. We present two cases of venous bullet embolization following traumatic gunshot injuries. We will review the different types of bullet emboli, complications, and management.
