Follicular Lymphoma Presenting as Intussusception in an Adult.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 61-year-old male with no past medical history presented with intense abdominal pain for three days, associated with hematochezia, nausea, and non-bloody vomiting. CT scan of the abdomen showed distended small bowel, diffuse lymphadenopathy, and intussusception of the distal ileum into the cecum with obstruction. Ileocolic resection and histopathological staining confirmed the diagnosis of follicular lymphoma and appropriate treatment was initiated. Intussusception is a condition that involves the invagination of the proximal segment of a bowel tract into its contiguous distal segment as a result of enthusiastic or impaired peristalsis. Only 5% of the total intussusception cases are found in adults. Most cases in adults are caused by pathological lead points which can be benign or malignant. Lymphomas rarely present with intussusception and follicular lymphomas are even less common. To the best of our knowledge, there have only been a few such cases of follicular lymphomas with the initial presentation of intussusception. In this article, we present a rare case of follicular lymphoma presenting as intussusception. Considering lymphomas as a cause of intussusception in adults can decrease diagnostic delays and guide treatment.
