Rectal Impaction of a Migratory Duck Bone After 72 Asymptomatic Hours: A Defused Time Bomb.

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
This case describes a 72-h asymptomatic migration of a 3.3 cm duck bone culminating in rectal impaction that triggered severe anal pain. Despite many sharp objects causing perforation within 24 h, this patient experienced no symptoms until sudden anal pain after 72 h. Computed X-ray tomography scan (CT) confirmed rectal impaction without perforation, and colonoscopy revealed longitudinal impaction 5 cm from the anal verge. Endoscopic extraction was performed, after which a superficial mucosal injury (approximately 0.3 cm × 0.15 cm) at the impaction site was visualized, with immediate pain resolution. The favorable outcome is attributed to persistent longitudinal orientation minimizing penetration forces and distal rectal impaction where thicker musculature and sparse vasculature provided anatomical protection. We emphasize detailed dietary history review for acute anal pain and propose risk-stratified management for asymptomatic ingestion: close radiographic surveillance for low-risk objects, early endoscopic retrieval for high-risk objects, and surgical intervention if endoscopy fails or is not feasible.
