Intentional ingestion of a full-length table fork and multiple razor blades requiring combined enterotomy and gastrotomy: a 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
Intentional ingestion of sharp foreign bodies in adults is uncommon and often associated with self-harm behavior. Multiple sharp objects located in different gastrointestinal segments significantly increase the risk of perforation and bleeding. We report a 27-year-old man who intentionally ingested nine razor blades and a full-length metallic fork. Radiography demonstrated multiple radiopaque objects without free air. Non-contrast computed tomography revealed a 185-mm fork extending from the distal esophagus into the stomach and razor blades within the proximal small bowel. Given the length of the fork, the multiplicity of sharp objects, and their distribution beyond the pylorus, endoscopic retrieval was deemed unsafe. The patient underwent urgent exploratory laparotomy with combined enterotomy and gastrotomy, enabling complete removal under intraoperative fluoroscopic guidance. Recovery was uneventful, and psychiatric follow-up was arranged. This case highlights the importance of early imaging, timely surgical intervention, and multidisciplinary care in managing complex sharp foreign body ingestion.
