Intussusception in the Geriatric Population: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Recurrent abdominal pain in the adult population is a complex symptom with a broad spectrum of diagnoses. The diagnosis of intussusception in the elderly is considerably rarer than in the younger population. High clinical suspicion is required, and imaging is needed for confirmation. Here, we present and discuss the clinical course and management of an 82-year-old female who underwent small bowel resection following recurrent intussusception that was confirmed by imaging and at the time of surgery. The patient was known for having a history of polyps, and the pathology report described a large tubulovillous adenoma found on the resected small bowel specimen. The patient was discharged after surgery with complete remission. This case report intends to explore the importance of surgical intervention versus conservative management in a patient with a similar clinic presentation. This report also intends to highlight the importance of surgical intervention to prevent intussusception-related complications and reduce patient mortality further.
