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
Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is a rare genetic disorder causing gastrointestinal polyps and skin pigmentation. Our case report highlights a unique instance of jejuno-jejunal intussusception associated with PJS in a 28-year-old female patient who presented to the emergency department with colicky abdominal pain, tachycardia, and gastrointestinal symptoms. Physical examination revealed mucocutaneous hyperpigmentation. Imaging studies showed a U-shaped distension in the jejunum with thickening and pneumatosis. Laparotomy revealed a jejuno-jejunal volvulus with intussusception. Surgical resection successfully addressed gangrenous jejunal tissue and ileal polyps. Histopathology confirmed PJS polyps. Postoperatively, the patient recovered well and was discharged. Family history revealed similar skin lesions in her uncle. Our case highlights the need for prompt surgical intervention to address complications associated with PJS and elucidates a unique presentation of PJS involving jejuno-jejunal intussusception and volvulus leading to complete small bowel obstruction. We aim to deepen understanding and prompt discussions on optimal therapeutic strategies.
