Unique Presentation of Adult Ileocecal Intussusception Unveiling a Rare Culprit: A Carcinoid Tumor.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 a prominent contributor to bowel obstruction, marked by the invagination of a proximal bowel section into a distal segment. Ileocecal intussusception occurs when a portion of the terminal ileum folds into the cecum. In adults, intussusception is infrequent compared to pediatric cases, and represents a minority of bowel obstructions. Structural lead points are more commonly observed in adult intussusception compared to pediatric cases where risk factors include infection, Meckel's diverticulum, and intestinal polyps. Obstructions in adults are usually a result of benign or malignant neoplasms. In this particular case, a carcinoid tumor originating in the ileum acted as the structural lead point for intussusception. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy resulting in a right hemicolectomy. This patient did not present with the classic triad of symptoms associated with carcinoid syndrome. In response to this particular case, a laparoscopic right-sided hemicolectomy with lymph node dissection was performed.
