A case report and comprehensive literature review on colorectal seed bezoars caused by Akebia trifoliata seeds.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2025. 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
The occurrence of bezoars is a relatively rare medical condition. Seed bezoars are typically discovered in the rectum and can cause symptoms such as constipation and pain. While the ingestion of seeds can lead to rectal impaction, complete intestinal blockage is uncommon. Although bezoars with various seeds have been documented, those containing Akebia trifoliata seeds are rare. A case report describes a patient who developed lower gastrointestinal obstruction following consumption of Akebia trifoliata seeds. The patient was admitted to the hospital due to recurring abdominal pain and difficulty passing stool for 4 days. The Computed Tomography Scan revealed an intestinal obstruction in the lower gastrointestinal tract, which was later confirmed through colonoscopy and patient history as being caused by ingestion of Akebia trifoliata seeds. After receiving treatment, the intestinal tract recovered; however, multiple ulcers persisted.
