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

backgroundIntussusception rarely causes intestinal obstruction in adults. Metastatic malignant melanoma is the main cause of intussusception of the small intestine among adults. However, malignant melanoma rarely causes intussusception of the colorectum. Moreover, emergent surgery is usually performed for such cases. Here, we report a case of a patient with colocolonic intussusception caused by a malignant melanoma, for which endoscopic reduction and elective surgery were performed. CASE SUMMARY: The patient was a 64-year-old woman who underwent multiple surgeries and received chemotherapy and immunotherapy for a malignant melanoma. During immunotherapy, she had abdominal pain, diarrhea, and bloody stool. Physical examination and laboratory studies did not reveal any findings that warranted emergent surgery. Computed tomography revealed intussusception in the descending colon without intestinal necrosis and perforation. Intussusception was reduced endoscopically, and elective surgery was performed.

conclusionThis report suggests that endoscopic reduction and elective surgery constitute a treatment option for colocolonic intussusception of metastatic malignant melanomas.
