Hitting the Nail on the Head: A Laparoscopic Retrieval of a Metallic Intrahepatic Foreign Body.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2026. 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
The presence of foreign bodies within the liver is an exceedingly rare event, typically resulting from either direct penetrating trauma to the abdomen or migration from the gastrointestinal tract. This report presents a case of a 21-year-old male, carpenter by occupation, who experienced accidental penetrating thoraco-abdominal trauma, leading to the retention of a metallic nail within the liver. The diagnosis was established based on conventional X-ray and CT scan findings; the nail was successfully retrieved via laparoscopy. This case underscores the significance of prompt diagnosis and intervention, which contribute to a favorable prognosis and improved outcomes in such injuries. Intrahepatic foreign bodies can lead to numerous complications, including hepatic abscess or hemorrhage, and may have life-threatening consequences, potentially resulting in mortality.
