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

Button battery ingestion is a significant cause of pediatric foreign body emergencies, often leading to severe complications. We present the case of an infant who developed a left common carotid-esophageal fistula after button battery ingestion, which was further complicated by the formation of a pseudoaneurysm. The diagnosis was confirmed through follow-up imaging, and the pseudoaneurysm was successfully treated using a flow diversion stent. The patient remained clinically stable without neurological deficits. This case underscores the critical importance of early diagnosis and intervention to prevent life-threatening complications such as hemorrhage and stroke. In addition, it highlights the necessity of follow-up imaging studies, even in asymptomatic patients, to monitor for delayed complications and inform ongoing management.
