Postoperative Pain Due to a Retained Needle in the Mesentery of the Ascending Colon: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
A plethora of reports have previously been published concerning the removal of intra-abdominal foreign bodies. However, in most of these cases, an acute inflammatory reaction occurred. In emergency medicine, accidental sewing needle ingestion is a frequent presentation. However, it is extremely uncommon for the needle to be inserted through the abdominal wall and remain silent inside the abdominal cavity. We hereby report a case of incidental finding of a needle retrieved from the antimesenteric intestinal border of the ascending colon in a 41-year-old female patient who presented to our hospital with acute right abdominal colic on the third postoperative day after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Laparotomy was performed, and the corroded needle was successfully removed from the mesentery together with its sheath.
