Intussusception in an elderly female and its management: A case report and literature review.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Intussusception is the telescoping or invagination of the proximal part of the gastrointestinal tract into an adjacent section. It is rare in adults, accounting for 1% of adult bowel obstruction. Adult presentation of intussusception is variable, with nonspecific, vague symptoms like abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and rectal bleeding. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans have the highest sensitivity in the diagnosis of intussusception. The classical findings of intussusception are the target sign and mesenteric vessels lined within the bowel lumen. An abdominal CT scan can reveal a cloverleaf figuration, fluid-filled ileal loops, superior mesenteric venous (SMV) occlusion, and concerns about ongoing sealed perforation or fistulization. Our patient is an 86-year-old female who was diagnosed with a jejunal-jejunal long-segment intussusception, gastro-enteric fistula, and SMV occlusion with distal reconstitution. The patient responded well to conservative treatment and was discharged for follow-up.
