1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

In the surgical field, the correct approach to the psychiatric patient represents a medical challenge, given the special considerations to be taken in the individualization of their diagnosis and treatment. We present an uncommon case of a 29-year-old patient with associated psychiatric pathology who presented to the emergency room after the introduction of two foreign bodies into the nasal cavity. After the endoscopic removal of one of the foreign bodies, the X-ray follow-up shows a second foreign body into the esophagus, which progressed to the vermiform appendix, causing the classical clinical signs of acute appendicitis as a complication. The importance of considering that events treated by the otorhinolaryngology area may have complications for urgent management by the general surgery service is denoted in this article.
