Successful management of uncommon embedded foreign body ingestion: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical 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
backgroundIncidents of pharyngeal foreign bodies are common in otolaryngological emergencies. In most cases, foreign bodies are easily identified and removed with or without the aid of flexible laryngoscopy. However, fully embedded foreign bodies in the tonsil are extremely rare and present a unique challenge for otolaryngologists. A 53-year-old Han male had a toothbrush head embedded in the palatine tonsil for 1 month, resulting in a prolonged discomfort and delayed diagnosis. The final diagnosis was a foreign body (toothbrush head) in left tonsil, established through computed tomography, medical history, and surgery. The foreign body was detected and removed from the oropharynx under general anesthesia. The patient recovered uneventfully during the 2-week follow-up.
conclusionsAccurate diagnosis of pharyngeal foreign body is the key to successful treatment. For patients suspected of chronic foreign body ingestion, it is imperative to comprehensively assess the history, physical examination, and imaging. Surgery is recommended for complicated cases of embedded pharyngeal foreign bodies.
