Colonic intussusception caused by a sigmoidal lipoma: A case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
introductionIntussusception is a relatively common condition seen in children. In comparison, adult intussusception is rare and is often secondary to inflammatory diseases, benign or malignant tumors and motility disorders. Being a benign cause, lipomas appear as a particularly rare gastrointestinal tumor. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We present a case of colo-colonic intussusception secondary to a sigmoidal lipoma, in a 40-year-old man. We describe the different aspects of diagnosis and management of this rare complication. DISCUSSION: Adult intussusception is the cause of symptomatic bowel obstruction in 1% of cases and its colo-colonic occurrence represents 17% of all intestinal intussusceptions. The case that we describe is particularly unique because apart from being an example of intussusception in adults, it occurred in the sigmoid colon and was not associated with a malignant lesion. The treatment of intussusception in adults is surgical resection because of the high incidence of underlying malignancy. Colonoscopy is a modality which allows direct visualization of the lipoma. However, intraluminal reduction via colonoscopy is not recommended.
conclusionColo-colonic intussusception is a very rare complication of lipoma. It is determined that the treatment is surgical due to the risk of malignancy.
