Primary jejunal melanoma as a cause of adult intussusception: a case report and review of literature.
Review in The Pan African medical journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Primary melanoma of the small bowel is a rare clinical entity with a paucity of published reports in literature. Most cases of gastrointestinal melanomas are metastatic lesions arising from skin or ocular origins. This is a case report of a 63 year old female with adult intussusception with jejunal melanoma as the lead point. The index patient had a long history of abdominal pain associated with significant weight loss and presented with features of intestinal obstruction. The possibility of a regressed or unidentified extra-intestinal site cannot be absolutely excluded as the patient did not have a PET scan. Due to the vague nature of clinical symptoms and signs, the diagnosis of small bowel melanoma is difficult, especially in patients with no obvious cutaneous pathology. A high index of suspicion for melanoma as a malignant lead point for adult intussusception should always be entertained.
