Case Report: A rare cause of pancreatitis - fish bone.

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
There is a wide variety of causes of pancreatitis, such as cholelithiasis and ethanol, of which only a small percentage are induced by foreign bodies, while cases of pancreatitis due to accidental ingestion of fish bone are seldom reported. Most accidentally ingested fish bones are eliminated through the digestive tract. It is very rare for them to penetrate the gastrointestinal tract and enter the pancreas, causing related complications. Here, we present a case of pancreatitis secondary to accidental ingestion of a fish bone. The case was initially poorly managed with medical treatment and further imaging suggestive of perforation and infection, which was successfully removed after exploratory laparotomy and intraoperative gastroscopy. A history of accidental fish bone ingestion is important and that contrast-enhanced computed tomography is indispensable for an early diagnosis. Endoscopic removal has the advantages of being less invasive, less painful, and easier to perform and is therefore preferred in most patients in recent years.
