Sigmoido-rectal intussusception.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Rectal prolapse is usually of benign etiology. Rarely, sigmoido-rectal intussusception results from a malignant lead-point. We report the case of a patient with a partially obstructing sigmoid cancer causing a full thickness rectal prolapse requiring surgical intervention. An 82-year-old woman presented with 1 week of rectal bleeding, fecal incontinence, and weight loss. Computed tomography identified sigmoido-rectal intussusception. Colonoscopic biopsy revealed high-grade dysplasia. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a 6-cm mass forming the lead point of the intussusceptum with epiploic appendages seen within the rectal lumen. She underwent laparoscopic low anterior resection with final pathology consistent with T2N0 adenocarcinoma, and recovered well. Among adult patients with rectal prolapse, suspicion for underlying malignancy should prompt a thorough investigation to inform the decision for resection, which may be safely performed by minimally invasive techniques.
