Lithobezoar and Phytobezoar Causing Intestinal Obstruction: A Report of Two Cases.
Article in Clinical 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
Concretion or mass formed of exogenous undigested material in the gastrointestinal tract is called bezoar. Bezoar is a rare condition and can present with clinical features ranging from recurrent abdominal pain to acute presentation with obstruction or gastrointestinal bleeding. Preoperative diagnosis is usually done by imaging studies. They are treated with endoscopic or surgical removal of the bezoar along with treatment of complications and underlying illness. Here, we present two cases of bezoars: first, a case of a duodenal lithobezoar in 35-year-old male who presented with features of gastric outlet obstruction. He was found to have duodenal stricture and multiple small lithobezoars in the stomach and duodenum. The bezoars were removed by laparotomy and gastrotomy; and gastrojejunostomy was done to bypass the stricture. The second was a jejunal phytobezoar in 42-year-old male who presented with jejunal obstruction. Laparotomy and resection of the involved segment of jejunum and end-to-end anastomosis were done. Both the patients improved without postoperative complications.
