A Small Bowel Obstruction Secondary to Jejunal Bezoar.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
An 82-year-old woman presented with a two-day history of bilious vomiting, abdominal bloating, and epigastric discomfort. She remained hemodynamically stable without signs of peritonitis. Abdominal CT revealed small bowel obstruction with a transition point in the proximal jejunum, caused by a heterogeneous mass with curvilinear calcification, suspicious for a bezoar. Given its size, location, and the low likelihood of spontaneous passage, surgical intervention was undertaken. Laparotomy confirmed a 6×6 cm calcified bezoar located 70 cm distal to the duodenojejunal flexure, with multiple proximal jejunal and duodenal diverticula likely contributing to its formation. The bezoar was removed via enterotomy without complications. This case highlights an uncommon cause of small bowel obstruction and the importance of considering bezoars in elderly patients with underlying diverticular disease.
