Troublesome Weight Loss: A Case Report of Large Gastric Phytobezoar.
Article in Middle East journal of digestive diseases, 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
Gastric bezoar is a very rare clinical condition and hard to treat. Phytobezoars are one of the most common types of bezoars, which happens with the consumption of indigestible fibers. In this report, we presented an elderly man with gastric phytobezoar who presented with peptic ulcer and was treated successfully with proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and Coca-Cola. Surveillance endoscopy showed a completely healed ulcer. It was shown that cautious use of Coca-Cola can be helpful and safe in treating concomitant phytobezoar and gastric ulcers. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of phytobezoar from Iran, which was treated with cola.
