1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionInflammatory fibroid polyps (IFPs) are rare, clinically benign tumors that can present as an intussusception causing intestinal obstruction. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We present a rare case of a 23-year-old man who suffered from intussusception caused by two IFPs. The patient complained of aggravated squeezing epigastric pain that prompted him to visit the emergency department. Moderate abdominal distention with mild tenderness was noted without signs of peritonitis. Abdominal computed tomography confirmed the presence of intussusception in the left lower quadrant. During laparoscopic surgery, the intussuscepted segment of the jejunum was identified, after which laparoscopic small bowel resection and anastomosis were performed. The patient was subsequently discharged without postoperative complications. DISCUSSION: IFPs are rare, clinically benign tumors of the gastrointestinal tract originating from the submucosa. IFPs can present as an intussusception causing intestinal obstruction.

conclusionSurgical resection is the optimal treatment method for IFPs accompanied by intussusception.
