An unexpected bite: Innovative endoscopic technique for removal of a metal grill brush bristle from the esophagus.
Article in JPGN 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
Ingestion of metal grill brush bristles is an uncommon but potentially serious cause of esophageal injury. We report a case of a healthy young man with acute odynophagia after eating grilled food, found to have a metal wire in the cervical esophagus. Given its partial embedding and sharp edges, standard removal methods were unsuccessful and posed risks. Using a snare, the bristle was successfully lassoed and withdrawn into the snare sheath before removal, preventing further trauma. The patient recovered fully without complications. This case demonstrates a novel, safe, and effective endoscopic technique for the removal of embedded metal wires such as grill brush bristles.
