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

A 6-month-old intact female English bulldog was presented following witnessed ingestion of a sewing needle. The dog underwent attempted endoscopic retrieval under general anesthesia. The needle foreign body was visualized but could not be removed due to orientation, and subsequent attempts at visualization were unsuccessful. Due to the unsuccessful removal, radiographs were obtained before intended surgical exploration, and no sewing needle was identified. The needle was subsequently identified in the working channel of the endoscope, and the dog recovered uneventfully. This is the first report to describe inadvertent endoscopic suctioning of a sharp, needle foreign body. Key clinical message: Endoscopy is a key tool in the management and treatment of sharp gastric foreign bodies. Complications are uncommon and typically patient-focused, including gastric perforation or irritation. However, this case report identifies an additional complication that should be considered when endoscopy is not successful.
