Enterolith at the ileocecal valve mimicking a subepithelial mass.

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
A 32-year-old woman presented with chronic constipation for three years. Colonoscopy revealed a 2.5 cm subepithelial tumor-like lesion at the ileocecal (IC) valve with protrusion of the lesion into the lumen. A CT scan of the abdomen showed an oval-shape laminated calcified lesion adhered to the IC valve and several gallstones. An exploratory laparotomy to enterotomy with stone extraction and open cholecystectomy was performed. Operative findings showed stone erosion into the ileal wall with the lesion being covered with colonic mucosa. Pathologic examination of stones from the intestinal wall revealed an enterolith. The case exemplifies the infrequent cause of a subepithelial lesion of the gastrointestinal tract and a rare presentation of an enterolith as a subepithelial lesion within the terminal ileal wall.
