When the Gut Tells a Story: Bezoars in a Neglected Autistic Child.

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
This case study delves into the unique presentation of bezoars in a 14-year-old autistic female who exhibited chronic diarrhea and abdominal pain. While trichobezoars, masses formed from ingested hair, are rare, they are predominantly seen in young females and are associated with psychiatric conditions. Through rigorous diagnostic procedures, including a computed tomography imaging of the abdomen and pelvis (CTAP) scan, fecal impaction, and multiple bezoars, including hair and non-biological items, were identified. The background revealed significant neglect, emphasizing the importance of a comprehensive approach that integrates medical, surgical, and psychosocial care.
