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

Intussusception in adults is rare, and the clinical symptoms of intussusception are subtle, making the diagnosis quite challenging. Gastrointestinal lipomas are rare benign tumors and are essentially adipose growths, most frequently found within the small intestine wall or mesentery. Limited up-to-date evidence exists regarding such lipomas. Intussusception due to a gastrointestinal lipoma constitutes an infrequent clinical entity, and the diagnosis of duodenal lipoma mainly depends on endoscopy examination, supplemented by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The present report describes a case of jejunal intussusception in an adult with a history of intermittent colicky abdominal pain located in the left upper quadrant over the last month. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen showed the typical target sign of a small intestinal intussusception along the left upper quadrant and a well-defined, low-density tumor in the intussusception. Exploratory laparotomy revealed jejuno-jejunal intussusception secondary to a lipoma, which was successfully treated with segmental intestinal resection.
