Factors Associated with Spontaneous Passage of Ingested Foreign Body in Children: A Prospective Observational Study.
Article in Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Aim: To identify factors associated with the spontaneous passage of ingested foreign bodies. Methods: A prospective observational cohort study was conducted at a tertiary pediatric surgery center from July 2022 to March 2024. Management followed a standardized protocol, with follow-up period of over 6 months. Results: The study included 139 children with a mean age of 6.9 years, and 53% of them were boys. Blunt objects, mainly coins, were the most frequently ingested (60%). Most children (88%) were asymptomatic, but 9% reported abdominal pain, particularly with sharp object ingestion ( Conclusion: Most ingested foreign bodies pass spontaneously without complications. Sharp objects transit faster than blunt objects, and transit time is influenced by object size, constipation, and colon loading.
