Adult Intussusception: An Uncommon Condition and Challenging Management.
Article in Visceral medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 35 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionIntussusception is a rare condition in adults. A pathological lesion is usually found with a significant percentage of malignancy. The optimal treatment is still not universally clear.
methodsThis is a retrospective review of adult patients with a diagnosis of intestinal intussusception and surgically treated at our institution from January 2009 to December 2018. Clinical, operative, and histological details were collected and analyzed.
resultsA total of 26 cases, 16 males and 10 females, were diagnosed with surgically proven intussusception during the 10-year period. The mean age was 45 years (range 21-70). Using ultrasound and/or computed tomography as imaging study, the preoperative diagnosis was made in 21/26 (81%) patients. Five intussusceptions were discovered only upon exploratory laparotomy for intestinal obstruction. There were 19 (73%) cases of enteric and 7 (27%) cases of colonic intussusceptions. All patients underwent surgical exploration. Intestinal resection with immediate anastomosis was the technique of choice for most patients. A single patient underwent stoma for peritonitis secondary to intestinal perforation. An organic cause has been systematically revealed, and no idiopathic intussusception was detected. Etiology was malignant in 9 (35%) cases.
conclusionAdult intussusception should be considered in any patient with subacute abdominal pain. Considering the high rate of malignancy, intestinal resection without attempting reduction is highly recommended for colonic intussusceptions. However, a more selective approach can be adopted for enteric intussusceptions.
