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

Key Clinical Message: Clinicians should not only consider the presence of metallic foreign bodies within the digestive tract but also contemplate the possibility of nicotine poisoning during the diagnostic process. Abstract: When clinicians encounter cases of accidental ingestion of some types of heated tobacco, they must consider not only nicotine poisoning but also the possibility of a metallic foreign body within the digestive tract during diagnosis. In children, even sharp or relatively large ingested foreign bodies can spontaneously pass below the esophagus. Considering that this 12-mm metal piece is small, natural excretion may be considered rather than endoscopic removal.
