Missing Denture: CT-Negative Radiolucent Non‑clasp Resin Partial Denture Retained in the Stomach for 10 Days.

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
Accidental denture ingestion in older adults can cause gastrointestinal injury and may be diagnostically challenging when the prosthesis is radiolucent. We report a 76-year-old man who accidentally swallowed a metal-free non-clasp resin partial denture (approximately 1 × 3 cm) while eating. After 10 days, he presented with persistent epigastric pain. Non-contrast chest-abdomen computed tomography (CT) with multiplanar reconstruction (axial, coronal, and sagittal images), interpreted by a board-certified radiologist, showed no definite intraluminal foreign body and no secondary signs of perforation or obstruction. Given the reliable ingestion history and persistent symptoms, urgent esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed a darkened resin denture in the mid-gastric body along the greater curvature. The denture was retrieved using a retrieval net because net traction alone was insufficient to pass the laryngeal inlet; grasping forceps were used to complete transoral extraction without complications. This case shows that a negative non-contrast CT does not exclude retention of a radiolucent denture, and early endoscopic evaluation should be considered when clinical suspicion remains high.
