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

Rectosigmoid intussusception is a rare cause of bowel obstruction, accounting for only approximately 1%-2% of all bowel obstruction cases. While intussusception in adults typically occurs intra-abdominally and presents with signs and symptoms of intestinal obstruction, in rare cases, it can mimic a rectal prolapse if the intussusceptum protrudes through the anal canal. We herein report a case where an octogenarian woman presented with rectosigmoid intussusception through the anal canal, due to a sigmoid colon submucosal lipoma, who eventually required an open Hartmann's procedure. Patients with rectal prolapse symptoms should be carefully examined to rule out intussuscepting masses as a differential, as it would necessitate earlier surgical intervention.
