Migrated toothpick causing a hepatic abscess with portal vein thrombosis: A case report and review of literature.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Key Clinical Message: Accidental foreign body ingestion is the most common hidden cause of abdominal pain. A high index of suspicion should be implemented in patients with unresolved abdominal pain. Here we reported a 54-year-old patient with vague abdominal pain who had a successful laparoscopic removal of a toothpick. Abstract: Toothpicks and fish bones are considered one of the most common accidentally ingested foreign bodies. Fortunately, most patients are asymptomatic. About 80%-90% of ingested foreign bodies pass through the gut spontaneously within a week. We present a case of a 54-year-old female with chronic epigastric pain and fever found to have a foreign body (toothpick) that penetrated the stomach and migrated to the liver causing liver abscess with portal vein thrombosis. The patient was managed with laparoscopic removal of the foreign body with an uneventful postoperative course.
