A Magnetic Hazard: A Case of Multiple Foreign Body Ingestion in a Two-year-old Child.
Article in Annals of African medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
abstractMagnetic foreign body ingestion is an increasingly recognized hazard in young children and poses a significant risk for severe gastrointestinal injury, particularly when multiple magnets are swallowed. Such cases can result in pressure necrosis, perforation, fistula formation, and bowel obstruction. We report the case of a 2-year-old girl who presented with a 3-4-day history of abdominal pain and vomiting. Imaging studies demonstrated multiple foreign bodies within the ileum, and the child was initially managed conservatively. Due to persistent symptoms and imaging findings, surgical exploration was undertaken. Intraoperatively, several magnets were found adherent across bowel loops, causing a jejunal perforation. Resection of the affected segment with primary anastomosis was performed, and the patient recovered without complications.
