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

Sigmoid colon perforation due to foreign body ingestion is a rare and potentially life-threatening condition. Whilst sigmoid perforation is often managed through surgical intervention, no guidelines exist regarding use of minimally invasive approaches in foreign body ingestion. We report the case of a 54-year-old male who presented with acute abdominal pain and localized peritonitis following the accidental ingestion of a chicken bone. Imaging revealed localized free intraperitoneal air and following laparoscopic exploration, a sigmoid perforation secondary to a chicken bone was identified. Laparoscopic primary suture repair was successfully carried out, with the patient making a full and uneventful recovery, being discharged on post-operative Day 9. The case highlights the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic primary suture repair in select cases of sigmoid colon perforation caused by an ingested foreign body. This should promote further research into this surgical case management.
