Isolated Cecal Necrosis Mimicking a Colonic Mass.

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
Isolated cecal necrosis (ICN) is a rare form of ischemic colitis that can mimic conditions such as appendicitis, malignancy, or diverticulitis. Most cases of ICN have been identified in patients with significant comorbidities that increase risk of vascular disease. We present a case of ICN mimicking a mass lesion in an elderly patient with few comorbid conditions. Although computed tomography was concerning for colonic mass, diagnostic colonoscopy revealed ischemic colon. The patient underwent right hemicolectomy, and pathology confirmed ICN. It is important to recognize conditions ICN can mimic, understand ICN can present without acute abdomen, and consider ICN in the differential diagnosis even in relatively healthy patients without a history of vascular disease.
