Case Report of a Sharp-Pointed Foreign Body Ingested by a Child: How Long to Wait Before Surgical Intervention?
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Foreign body (FB) ingestion is one of the most common and challenging scenarios encountered in an Emergency Department. The incidence varies in different centers. They may be blunt objects, sharp-pointed objects, magnets, food boluses, and disk batteries. Most FBs pass spontaneously through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, but the management of pointed, sharp FBs remains controversial. The relation between the length and width of sharp-pointed FBs and the mode of management remains questionable. In this case report, we discuss the management of a toddler who accidentally ingested an iron nail. We reviewed the existing literature and guidelines to find out the management of sharp-pointed foreign body ingestion in children.
