Rectal abscess secondary to foreign body insertion: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 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
backgroundRectal foreign bodies, though uncommon, present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, particularly when they result from accidental ingestion. The nonspecific symptoms and the potential for serious complications necessitate a thorough and methodical approach to diagnosis and treatment. This case report aims to highlight the diagnostic complexities and management strategies involved in treating a patient with a rectal foreign body, focusing on the use of advanced imaging techniques and the importance of a multidisciplinary approach. CASE SUMMARY: A 48-year-old male with a history of hypertension presented with a one-year history of post-defecation anorectal pain and mild post-defecation rectorrhagia. Initial evaluation revealed hemodynamic stability and a tender, non-mucosal lesion in the anterior left rectal region. Imaging studies, including colonoscopy, magnetic resonance imaging, and endosonography, identified an erythematous, exophytic lesion and a perirectal abscess containing a foreign body. Surgical intervention revealed necrotic tissue and purulent material, along with two solid foreign body fragments (bone or plant matter). Postoperative follow-up showed the patient in good condition, and pathology confirmed the fragments as mature bone.
conclusionThis case underscores the diagnostic challenges posed by rectal foreign bodies with nonspecific symptoms and no clear history of ingestion.
