A Meaty Problem: Radiological Perspective on an Unusual Rectal Foreign Body.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Rectal foreign bodies (RFBs) are a rare but notable cause of presentation. They are usually associated with sexual gratification, accidents, or psychiatric conditions. This case report discusses the diagnosis and management of a rare food-borne RFB. A 67-year-old man presented with perianal pain and a feeling of fullness in the rectum. He stated that he was under the influence of alcohol and did not remember the events. Physical examination and radiologic imaging revealed a 28-cm-long baton sausage with metallic material at the tip in the rectum. The foreign body was removed by colonoscopy without complications. RFB cases usually involve males and are associated with sexual objects. CT plays a critical role in the diagnosis and evaluation of complications, while endoscopic methods usually provide effective treatment. With proper imaging and endoscopic management, successful outcomes can be achieved without the need for surgical intervention. A multidisciplinary approach is important to improve patient outcomes.
