Ileal obstruction caused by an intact "Shine Muscat" grape: a case report.

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
Introduction: This case report presents a rare instance of small-bowel obstruction (SBO) caused by an intact "Shine Muscat" grape, highlighting the importance of considering unusual foreign bodies in the differential diagnosis of SBO, especially in the elderly. Case description: An 87-year-old edentulous female presented with a 2-day history of abdominal pain, bloating, vomiting, and constipation. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan revealed SBO with a foreign body in the ileum. The patient confessed swallowing an intact grape 2 days prior to admission. Surgery was performed, and an intact green grape was extracted from the dilated ileum, relieving the obstruction. This case highlights the rare case of SBO caused by an intact grape and underscores the importance of a detailed dietary history in the diagnosis of SBO. The use of CT scanning was instrumental in identifying the grape as the cause of obstruction. Early surgical intervention led to a successful outcome, emphasizing the need for prompt action in managing such cases.
