Trapped In Transit - A Case Report of a Pediatric Gastric Bezoar Causing Intermittent Small Bowel Obstruction.
Article in Journal of education & teaching in emergency medicine, 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
A 14-year-old female patient presented to the pediatric emergency department (ED) with chief complaints of abdominal pain, vomiting, and unintentional weight loss. A palpable abdominal mass was noted on exam, prompting a computed tomography (CT) scan which revealed a gastric bezoar that had fragmented, leading to intermittent and spontaneously resolving small bowel obstruction. The patient underwent surgical removal of the bezoar for definitive management. This report highlights a novel case of spontaneous bezoar fragmentation and its associated imaging findings. Because this phenomenon represents the description of a rare occurrence, the goal is to enhance the emergency medicine providers' understanding of an uncommon cause of abdominal masses and small bowel obstruction (SBO). Topics: Pediatrics, bezoar, bowel obstruction.
