Giant Colonic Lipoma Remains a Surgeon's Domain: A Report of Two Cases.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Colonic lipomas are rare benign submucosal tumors that are mostly asymptomatic. With increasing size, they may develop symptoms and complications. The acute presentation may be intestinal obstruction secondary to intussusception or gastrointestinal bleeding. The chronic presentation may be subtle and mimic a colonic malignancy. Symptoms include altered bowel habits, abdominal pain, lower gastrointestinal bleeding, and weight loss. Diagnostic evaluation includes advanced imaging such as Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and Endoscopy. With the advent of endoscopic submucosal dissection techniques, the therapeutic capabilities of endoscopy have expanded over the decade. However, surgical interventions were reserved for large, symptomatic lipomas, and resection varies from segmental colonic resection to hemicolectomy. Size and clinical presentation determine the therapeutic approach. We, with this, report two cases of giant colonic lipoma in the right colon causing a colo-colic intussusception.
