Successful Retrieval of 35 Razors From the Stomach via Upper Gastrointestinal (GI) Endoscopy: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Adult ingestion of foreign bodies in the digestive system is a common clinical challenge, often involving mentally impaired individuals, criminals, and drug dealers or occurring accidentally. Encounters with multiple sharp foreign bodies are infrequent and pose significant risks, including gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, perforation, internal fistulas, and infection. The choice between endoscopy and emergency surgery for removal is contentious, with the less invasive endoscopy typically favored as the first line of management, depending on the foreign body's location and endoscopic accessibility. The current literature on the treatment of numerous sharp foreign bodies is sparse. This case report illustrates the successful endoscopic removal of a large quantity of sharp foreign bodies (35 half blades) from the upper GI tract, utilizing various extraction tools. It also aims to contribute to the existing literature regarding management strategies for ingested sharp foreign bodies. A comprehensive account is provided of the clinical presentation, imaging studies, consultations, and endoscopic procedures performed, culminating in the patient's safe discharge from our facility.
