An Unusual Foreign Body Causing Symptoms After 40 Years: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This is a clinical case of a 71-year-old woman who went to an urgent consultation for pain in the distal region of the sole of the right foot; she denied trauma or effort. On physical examination, there was an induration, which was painful on palpation. Ultrasound and X-ray evaluation showed a foreign body (FB) associated with a granuloma in the distal end of the metallic linear image, measuring 6.5 cm, projected at the base of the second metatarsal. When asked about the discovery, she remembered an episode of trauma with a rod from an umbrella, more than 40 years ago, which was supposedly removed by a healer. She was unaware that that piece of the object remained. Sent to traumatology, a partial extraction of the FB was performed. It showed extensive corrosion, causing a metallosis reaction. The patient kept a part of the FB with about 3 cm, with adequate healing, and she recovered completely.
