Gossypiboma with enterocutaneous fistula after cesarean section: a case report and review of the literature.
Review in Journal of medical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionAlthough precautions taken for surgical procedures are strict and effective in most operative theaters, the incidence of retained foreign bodies following surgery has a reported rate of 0.01-0.001%, of which gossypibomas make up 80% of cases. CASE PRESENTATION: A 42-year-old woman who was Oromo in ethnicity came to the hospital with symptoms of infection, including pus drainage from her lower abdominal incision, fever, chills, and weight loss. Tests indicated an intraabdominal mass consistent with a foreign body from a previous surgery. An exploratory laparotomy revealed a surgical pack causing intestinal perforations. The foreign body was removed, and the patient recovered well postoperatively.
conclusionRetained surgical items are serious problems of surgical operations that can result in morbidity and mortality. Therefore, it should be among the differential diagnoses of any abdominal pain in patients having a history of prior surgery.
