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
Foreign body ingestion in adults is rare and typically linked to psychiatric or cognitive disorders. We present a rare and challenging case of an 18-year-old congenitally deaf and mute male who presented with prolonged constipation and recurrent vomiting. Diagnostic imaging revealed extensive fecal impaction and multiple ingested foreign bodies, which were coins and seeds, and there was no sign of any perforation. Due to the patient's communication barriers, diagnosis and management were delayed and required extra care. The patient was successfully managed with conservative procedures, including manual evacuation under sedation and supportive care, avoiding the need for surgical or endoscopic intervention. This case highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach during the management of gastrointestinal conditions in patients with communication disabilities and emphasizes the need for improved healthcare accessibility and communication strategies for the deaf and mute population.
