Rare Idiopathic Adult Intussusception: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 highly uncommon in adults, with most cases caused by a pathological lead point that requires surgical resection. This case presentation highlights a rare example of idiopathic intussusception in a young male adult. Our patient is a 23-year-old African American male who presented at the Piedmont Macon Medical Center emergency department in February 2023 with acute-onset severe periumbilical pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Computed tomography (CT) imaging was inconclusive, and his diagnosis of an ileo-ileal intussusception in the distal ileum was made during an exploratory (diagnostic) laparoscopy. Based on a visual inspection of the bowel demonstrating no evidence of inflammation, adhesions, lesions, ischemia, or a pathological lead point, manual reduction without resection was indicated. While intussusception is rare in adults, it is an important clinical prognosis that should be carefully considered in the differential diagnosis.
