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

This report describes the case of a 56-year-old woman who presented at the emergency room with a 3-week history of severe, intermittent abdominal pain. A CT scan revealed colo-colic intussusception caused by a large, substenosing mass with predominant adipose density. Subsequent endoscopic examination with biopsy revealed a necrotic tissue covering the mass, without definitive histological characterization. A second biopsy led to the extremely rare diagnosis of colo-colic lipoma. While intussusception is rare in adults, it's important to consider it as a differential diagnosis, especially when presenting with abdominal pain and signs of bowel obstruction. Timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential to prevent complications.
