Enterocutaneous Fistula Caused by an Ingested Chicken Bone in an Adult: A Case Report.

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
Introduction and Importance: Enterocutaneous fistulas (ECFs) caused by ingested foreign bodies are extremely rare. Accurate fistula localization is essential for guiding management, especially in comorbid patients at high surgical risk. Case Presentation: We report a 76-year-old woman who developed an ECF secondary to a swallowed chicken bone. Initial imaging suggesting a high small-bowel fistula and severe peristomal skin breakdown prompted consideration of surgery. Extended conservative management allowed skin healing, and follow-up imaging revealed a more distal fistula, supporting continuation of nonsurgical management. Clinical Discussion: Management of ECF is challenging due to morbidity from intestinal failure, electrolyte disturbances, sepsis, and skin damage. Optimal care requires multidisciplinary strategies guided by sepsis control, nutritional support, anatomical assessment, and procedure planning (SNAP framework). Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of individualized management and careful assessment of fistula location. It also illustrates that prolonged conservative management can achieve acceptable outcomes in high-risk patients.
