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

Foreign body ingestion, though rare, poses significant health risks, with 10%-20% of cases requiring endoscopic intervention. This article presents a novel case of a 16-year-old female who ingested a cigarette lighter, leading to abdominal pain and radiographic confirmation of a gastric foreign body. Initial attempts at retrieval using grasping forceps and snares were unsuccessful due to the object's size and shape, risking potential complications. We employed a dual-channel endoscope utilizing a push-pull technique with two snares, one capturing the blunt end and the other the sharp edge of the lighter. This method facilitated safe extraction through the gastroesophageal junction without causing trauma. This case highlights the efficacy of dual snares in the endoscopic retrieval of challenging foreign bodies and emphasizes the importance of appropriate techniques in preventing complications during such procedures.
