Rapunzel syndrome: Trichobezoar-induced pancreatitis unraveled.
Article in JPGN reports, 2026. 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
Trichobezoars are rare hair-based intraluminal foreign bodies that may cause significant gastrointestinal complications, particularly when extending into the duodenum as in Rapunzel syndrome. We report the case of an 11-year-old girl with sensory processing difficulties and undiagnosed avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), who presented with 1 month of worsening abdominal pain, emesis, and elevated lipase (>1200 U/L). Imaging revealed a large gastric bezoar with duodenal extension and acute necrotizing pancreatitis. Surgical removal with anterior gastrotomy confirmed presence of a trichobezoar composed of hair and food material. Postoperative management included broad-spectrum antibiotics, pain control, and psychological support. The patient recovered well and was discharged with follow-up for autism spectrum disorder and ARFID. This case highlights a rare but serious complication of trichobezoars and underscores the importance of multidisciplinary care in patients with behavioral feeding disorders and gastrointestinal complications.
