Triple impalement by fishing spears ('teta'): Surgical decision-making and multisite management in a resource-limited setting - A case report.
Article in Trauma 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
Penetrating injury is an important reason for hospital admission. In case of multiple penetrating injury early resuscitation, adequate examination and investigation with proper surgical management sequence can significantly reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality. A 34-year-old male from a border area of Sylhet, Bangladesh, presented to the emergency department 6 h after being assaulted with three iron fishing spears ("teta"). The patient had impalement injuries to the left cheek, left lumbar region, and left foot. On admission, he was conscious and hemodynamically stable, though with abdominal distension. Radiological investigations confirmed deep soft tissue and visceral penetration. An emergency laparotomy revealed perforations in the transverse colon and ileum, necessitating segmental repair and jejunostomy due to concerns of delayed presentation, bowel edema, and risk of anastomotic failure in a resource limited setting. All three foreign bodies were successfully removed surgically at Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh. Postoperative recovery was uneventful. This case highlights the importance of multidisciplinary surgical intervention, and resilience in managing complex penetrating injuries in a resource limited setting.
