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

We present a rare case of adult intussusception (AI) due to a small bowel fibroma, which presented as recurrent subacute symptoms. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case managed by intraluminal excision of the causative lesion by enterotomy as opposed to bowel resection. A 34-year-old woman presented with recurrent colicky abdominal pain. Computed tomography demonstrated ileoileal intussusception, with magnetic resonance imaging revealing a 2.3-cm intraluminal lesion acting as a lead point. The patient underwent laparotomy and the intussusception was reduced. Palpation of the lesion demonstrated a pedunculated polyp without suspicious features; so the lesion was resected via enterotomy as opposed to small bowel resection. Histopathological analysis diagnosed a benign fibroma. AI is a rare but important entity, with potentially devastating consequences for delayed diagnosis. The majority of lesions causing AI are benign and may be amenable to intraluminal resection via enterotomy, thus avoiding unnecessary bowel resection.
