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
Despite intussusception being less prevalent among adults, its effects are severe and often require emergency intervention. Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant syndrome that leads to the growth of polyps in the gastrointestinal mucosa. In this case report, we present the case of a 26-year-old man who was brought to the emergency room complaining of crampy abdominal pain, vomiting, and constipation. Intussusception was observed on imaging and confirmed at surgery. The necrotic parts of the small bowel were resected. Postoperatively, the patient was stable, had minimum pain, and did not have any complications throughout the hospital stay. He was discharged home on day seven and advised to follow up. The course at the one-month follow-up was uneventful with no similar episodes. This case report is intended as a reminder for emergency physicians to consider intussusception as a potential diagnosis in patients presenting with abdominal pain and bowel obstruction because the symptoms are often non-specific and episodic.
