Magnet-Assisted Transanal Removal of a Rectal Foreign Body in a Child: A Case Report.
Article in Clinical 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
Management of rectal foreign bodies, uncommon in children, aims to achieve safe, minimally invasive removal while avoiding anesthesia or surgery whenever possible. We report a rare pediatric case of a rectal foreign body successfully removed using a magnet-assisted transanal technique. To our knowledge, this technique has not been previously reported in pediatric patients. A 10-year-old girl with a developmental disability inserted an AAA battery into her rectum. She was asymptomatic on arrival. Pelvic radiography revealed a single cylindrical rectal foreign body. Considering the object type, short duration, and absence of perforation signs, transanal removal was planned. Manual grasping, endoscopic removal, and neuraxial or general anesthesia were considered difficult or overly invasive, so a magnet-assisted technique was devised. A magnet placed between the double-layered gloves of the examiner's index finger was gently advanced transanally, allowing atraumatic extraction. Magnet-assisted transanal extraction is a simple and minimally invasive option for removing metallic rectal foreign bodies that respond to magnetic attraction. Further investigations are warranted to establish its safety and indications.
