Telescoping jejunum: a case of adult intussusception.
Review in BMJ case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 the invagination of a proximal part of intestine into the adjacent distal part. Reported frequently in children, it forms a rare presentation in adults and can be difficult to diagnose pre operatively. Imaging modalities are increasingly being used for preoperative diagnosis with almost all cases in adults being secondary to an intestinal lesion. Intraoperative management of such lesions in adults was mostly reported to be done by en bloc resection without attempts at reduction, especially where a preoperative diagnosis of a benign lesion was not in hand. We present a case of a female patient with a background of active metastatic lung cancer presenting with symptoms and signs of high intestinal obstruction, found to have a jejunal intussusception on CT scan and managed conservatively initially, followed by definitive surgical management. Literature review of similar presentations, diagnostic and treatment modalities are discussed thereafter.
