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

This report details a rare case of a 3-year-old female from a low-income laborer family presenting with a giant trichobezoar extending to the ileocecal junction (ICJ), the youngest documented case with mixed composition (hair, cotton threads, and synthetic materials). Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) localized the mass to the jejunum, but intraoperative exploration revealed an approximately 145-cm bezoar reaching the ICJ. The case highlights socio-environmental risk factors, diagnostic imaging limitations, and emphasizes the importance of complete surgical exploration in pediatric trichobezoar management.
