1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Emergency gastroenterology evaluations related to complaints of foreign body ingestion are relatively common. Most ingested foreign bodies pass through the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) to be excreted in the feces. But sharp foreign bodies may be difficult to pass naturally without intervention and can cause devastating, risky complications without urgent management. Complications include impaction, fistula formation, perforation, mediastinitis, and sepsis. Here we present a difficult case of esophageal and duodenal foreign bodies effectively removed endoscopically supported with a multi-disciplinary approach.
