A Colonic Lipoma Causing Obstruction: A Case Report and Review of Literature.
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 lesions of the gastrointestinal tract. They are asymptomatic in the majority of cases. This report aims to present a case involving a 65-year-old female patient reporting rectal bleeding, loss of appetite, and alteration in bowel habits. First, she was submitted to colonoscopy which revealed a sizable ulcerative polypoid lesion in the descending colon, displaying histological characteristics consistent with a hyperplastic polyp and devoid of malignancy indications. An abdominal computed tomography followed which showed diffuse thickening of the colonic wall in the descending colon, resulting in nearly complete luminal obstruction and also a submucosal lipoma measuring 2.6 centimeters at the same location. Laparoscopic intervention ensued, and following a conclusive intraoperative diagnosis of a submucosal lipoma via frozen biopsy, a successful laparoscopic segmental resection of the descending colon with primary anastomosis was executed. Additionally, a comprehensive review of contemporary literature is provided to enhance the understanding of the management approaches applied in analogous cases since established treatment guidelines for colonic lipomas are currently lacking.
