Rectal Tonsil in a Patient With Positive Syphilis Serology.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Rectal tonsils are an abnormal reactive proliferation of lymphoid tissue in the rectum. Typical lymphoid tissue of the colon and rectum can proliferate with an increased number of germinal centers in response to exposure to an antigen in the GI tract. This response, in rare cases, escalates to the proliferation of a lymphoid mass known as a rectal tonsil. Here, we present a case of a 46-year-old woman with iron deficiency anemia who underwent colonoscopy with incidental finding of a rectal tonsil. This report discusses initial clinical workup, colonoscopy findings, pathological analysis, subsequent testing, and surgical removal of the identified mass and this rare finding.
