Esophageal Perforation and Fistulization After Ingestion of Multiple Foreign Bodies: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Esophageal perforation is a life-threatening condition associated with high morbidity and mortality, particularly when diagnosis or treatment is delayed. Foreign body ingestion is a known cause of esophageal injury and may result in severe complications requiring surgical intervention. We report the clinical course and therapeutic management of a young adult who developed cervical esophageal perforation after deliberate ingestion of multiple foreign bodies associated with acute cocaine intoxication and self-induced emesis. The patient presented with cervical pain, extensive subcutaneous emphysema, and pneumomediastinum and underwent exploratory cervicotomy with primary esophagorrhaphy. The postoperative course was complicated by hemopneumothorax requiring thoracoscopic drainage and subsequent esophageal fistulization, which was successfully managed conservatively. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges, multidisciplinary decision-making, and potential complications associated with esophageal perforation secondary to deliberate foreign body ingestion in high-risk patients.
