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
Bouveret syndrome is a rare form of gastric outlet obstruction resulting from gallstone migration through a bilioenteric fistula. Fewer than 300 cases have been reported in the literature, to our knowledge. We present the case of a 68-year-old man with severe postprandial pain, recurrent vomiting, and significant weight loss. Laboratory tests revealed severe anemia, metabolic acidosis, and acute kidney injury. Imaging and upper endoscopy identified a large duodenal gallstone associated with a cholecystoduodenal fistula and ischemic gastric ulcers. The patient underwent endoscopic management with laser lithotripsy and fragment extraction, achieving complete resolution of the obstruction. This case highlights the feasibility and effectiveness of endoscopic therapy, particularly laser lithotripsy, as a minimally invasive alternative to surgery in patients with Bouveret syndrome who present with high surgical risk.
