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
We report the laparoscopic removal of a foreign body that was embedded in the abdominal wall. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a foreign body in the abdominal wall being laparoscopically removed. A 27-year-old man working at a forging factory presented to our hospital with abdominal pain. He reported that three hours before presentation, a metal fragment came flying from an operating power hammer and penetrated his lower right abdomen. Abdominal CT revealed a 7 mm-sized radiopaque object near the peritoneum. The foreign body was successfully removed laparoscopically with real-time fluoroscopic guidance. Percutaneous removal is usually performed when a foreign body is present in the soft tissue; however, laparoscopic removal should be considered when the foreign body is located in the abdominal wall near the peritoneum. We provide principles for the safe and minimally invasive removal of foreign bodies based on this case.
