A Complex Differential for Gastric Outlet Obstruction: Bezoar or Bouveret?
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
Bezoars are a rare but important cause of gastric outlet obstruction (GOO). Recognizing this diagnosis promptly is important to prevent complications, such as ulceration, bleeding, and perforation. Typical presenting symptoms include postprandial nausea, vomiting, and epigastric abdominal pain. However, these findings can be non-specific and imitate other rare causes of GOO. Here, we describe a case of a 77-year-old male who presented with GOO due to a phytobezoar mimicking Bouveret's syndrome. This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of GOO.
