A case of adult intussusception with greyscale, contrast-enhanced ultrasound and computerised tomography correlation.
Article in Ultrasound (Leeds, England), 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Intussusception is often misdiagnosed as a cause of bowel ischemia and obstruction among adults due to its relatively rare presentation outside of the paediatric population. Ultrasound is often the first-line investigation for non-specific abdominal pain and can identify the presence of intussusception. In the adult population, it is essential to evaluate for causes and consequences of intussusception; as a result, computerised tomography is often deemed necessary. However, contrast-enhanced ultrasound allows for evaluation of potential causes and complications, including a neoplastic lead point and ischaemia of the bowel, whilst avoiding ionising radiation or nephrotoxic iodinated contrast. We report a case of adult intussusception with a polyp lead point with ultrasound, contrast-enhanced ultrasound and computerised tomography correlation.
