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
Abdominal pain is a common complaint in emergency medicine, with a vast differential diagnosis. We report a case of a 42-year-old male presenting with two days of progressively worsening left lower quadrant (LLQ) pain. A CT scan of the abdomen demonstrated a small metallic foreign body. The patient had not ingested any grilled food, since this was the speculated etiology, given the concern for potentially ingesting a wire grill brush piece. Considering the significant pain and associated computer tomography (CT) findings, the patient was taken to the operating room. A 2 cm piece of metal wire was found perforating his small intestines. The patient remembered a recent visit to his orthodontist which was uneventful. Complications from orthodontic procedures are rare and typically benign. We report an unusual case of an iatrogenic small bowel perforation from an archwire. The patient had a full recovery. Topics: Orthodontist, bowel perforation, iatrogenic, archwire.
