Management Options of Giant Colonic Lipomas.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Colonic lipomas are rare, benign neoplasms, typically asymptomatic, and predominantly found incidentally during autopsy or routine surveillance. Symptomatic lesions are usually those greater than 2 cm in diameter while "giant" lesions are characterized as those over 4 cm. Presentations can vary from asymptomatic to more severe sequelae, including obstruction, gastrointestinal bleeding, or intussusception. Resection of these lesions has historically been restricted to large or symptomatic lesions. However, recent reports suggest lipomas may retain the ability to grow and can become symptomatic over time despite being inconsequential initially. This series provides a review of the clinical manifestations of colonic lipomas, radiographic characteristics, and a treatment recommendation for management of these lesions using minimally invasive surgical techniques whilst advocating for consideration of resection prior to the development of symptoms or more emergent complications.
