An adenocarcinoma in an inverted Meckel's diverticulum with intussusception.
Article in Surgical case reports, 2023. 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
backgroundAdenocarcinoma in an inverted Meckel's diverticulum with intussusception has not been reported to date. We discuss the clinical issues concerning this rare condition and review the relevant literature. CASE PRESENTATION: A 71-year-old Japanese female was referred to our hospital for further investigation of severe anemia. Computed tomography revealed a tumorous lesion in the terminal ileum. Capsule endoscopy did not provide detailed images. Exploratory laparoscopy revealed intussusception in the terminal ileum. An intraluminal tumor 70 cm proximal to the ileocecal valve was observed to be the lead point. Partial resection including the tumor was performed. Macroscopically, a polypoid tumor at the tip of an inverted diverticulum-like structure was observed. The tumor was histologically composed of adenocarcinoma accompanied by gastric and pyloric gland metaplasia in the background mucosa, which was confirmed by immunohistochemical staining. Based on these characteristics, this tumor is considered to have developed from the ectopic gastric mucosa in a Meckel's diverticulum.
conclusionsWhen we encounter patients with unfamiliar lesions in the small bowel, we need to differentiate Meckel's diverticulum related disease. Meckel's diverticulum can invert into the lumen of the small bowel and cause an intussusception, and has potential of malignant transformation.
