Trusting your gut: a hairy situation-gastric trichobezoar case report.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 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
Trichobezoars are rare masses made from ingested hair that are commonly seen in young females. We report a case of a 7-year-old girl who presented with generalized abdominal pain and rapid weight loss. Initial evaluation with radiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and upper gastrointestinal series (UGI) suggested superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome but failed to provide a definitive diagnosis. A gastric trichobezoar was ultimately identified on esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). While uncommon, trichobezoars should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pediatric patients, especially females presenting with nonspecific symptoms. Without obvious alopecia or a known psychiatric history, diagnosis is often delayed due to symptoms overlapping with other conditions, and EGD evaluation should be considered.
