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

The diagnosis of foreign body ingestion is often clear from the history; diagnostic difficulty and delay in management arise when patients and carers are unable to give a clear history of ingestion. We present the case of a cognitively impaired adult who was misdiagnosed with gastritis when they had, in fact, been suffering from vomiting secondary to foreign bodies impacted in the oesophagus. Timely endoscopy in accordance with the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) guidelines prevented the potentially significant complications associated with foreign body ingestion.
