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
Xylobezoar is indeed a rare condition associated with xylophagia, characterized by varying degrees of intestinal obstruction due to the entrapment of undigested paper in the gastrointestinal tract. Xylophagia is a form of pica that primarily affects children from low socioeconomic backgrounds with mental conditions and nutritional deficiencies. It is rarely seen in adults. Medical and endoscopic interventions are often challenging in these patients, and surgical intervention is often required. We present an endoscopically challenging case of pancolonic obstruction due to toilet paper accumulation in a patient with pica secondary to iron deficiency anemia.
