Endoscopic removal of unusual gastric impaction of 30 keys and magnets in a schizophrenic patient: a rare case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
Foreign body ingestion is a common emergency, but intentional ingestion among psychiatric patients often involves multiple and unusual objects that create significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We describe a 35-year-old man with an 11-year history of untreated schizophrenia who presented with recurrent vomiting, abdominal pain, and abdominal distension. Abdominal radiography revealed a metallic mass in the stomach, and endoscopy identified numerous metallic objects, including 30 keys and 2 magnets, with minor mucosal ulcerations. All items were successfully removed using flexible endoscopy, and follow-up imaging confirmed complete clearance. The patient subsequently underwent psychiatric evaluation, and repeat endoscopy the next day showed normal findings. This case emphasizes the heightened risk of recurrent ingestion in psychiatric populations, particularly when magnets or sharp objects are involved, which may result in ulceration or perforation. Early recognition, minimally invasive retrieval, and appropriate psychiatric intervention are essential to preventing complications and reducing recurrence.
