Thirty-Five Years of Gossypiboma.
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
The term gossypiboma refers to a textile matrix object left in a body cavity during surgery. It is often mistaken for other pathologies and symptoms can be very heterogeneous. Retained surgical items often have legal as well as clinical consequences. To reduce the incidence of gossypiboma, safety procedures have been proposed that the surgical team must implement. In case of an occasional finding during another procedure, it is necessary to share the most correct management. The case we present involves a patient in whom an intra-abdominal mass was identified during a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The initial decision was to perform a biopsy of the mass and postpone the definitive surgery. Histological examination provided the diagnosis of gossypiboma. The patient's medical history revealed that the surgical item had been retained for 35 years. Subsequently, we performed a second operation in which the gossypiboma was removed at the same time as the cholecystectomy.
