Wishbone Ingestion Leading to a Diagnosis of Occult Sigmoid Adenocarcinoma.
Article in Cureus, 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
Foreign body ingestion can lead to life-threatening complications, including colonic perforation, especially with sharp-pointed objects. We detail an unusual case of a male patient in his seventies who presented with left lower quadrant abdominal pain and diarrhea, found to be secondary to a sharp foreign body ingestion, a wishbone. This finding led to a diagnosis of sigmoid adenocarcinoma, followed by colonic perforation weeks after an unsuccessful endoscopic removal attempt and prior to planned surgical intervention. He underwent exploratory laparotomy with wishbone removal, sigmoid colectomy, and diverting loop ileostomy. He was discharged to a skilled nursing facility for postoperative recovery with vacuum-assisted midline incision therapy. Our case is one of the few to detail a malignant mass causing colonic foreign body impaction with attempted endoscopic intervention, highlighting the intricacies of managing foreign body ingestion with endoscopic versus surgical intervention.
