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

Colonic lipomas are the most widespread non-epithelial tumours of the large bowel. They often present with absent, non-specific or intermittent symptoms. Intussusception is the most common complication that may occur as a result of such a lesion. We present the case of a young female patient with a history of intermittent abdominal pain associated with nausea. She presented to the emergency department with subacute large bowel obstruction. A diagnosis of colo-colic intussusception due to a large descending colonic lipoma was confirmed on CT scan. The patient underwent a laparoscopic assisted submucosal excision of the lipoma. We discuss this unique operative technique as well as preoperative investigations and histopathology findings. Although successful endoscopic excision of lipomas has been reported, segmental resection of the colon is most commonly practiced. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of laparoscopic assisted submucosal excision of an intussuscepting colonic lipoma.
