Adult Ileocolic Intussusception Secondary to Cecal Lipoma: 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 3 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
Large intestinal intussusception is rare in adults. Among potential pathologic lead points for intussusception are lipomas, benign tumors very infrequently found in the large bowel. A 30-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with a chief complaint of generalized abdominal pain for two weeks. A computed tomography scan of her abdomen and pelvis showed an ileocolic intussusception with a lead point of 6.7 cm. The lead point appeared to be predominantly fat. A colonoscopy revealed a large, obstructing lesion in the transverse colon. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy with a right hemicolectomy, and a pathologic diagnosis of a lipoma was made. The patient recovered from surgery without complications and returned to her normal diet three weeks after discharge. This case highlights an unusual and rare presentation of an ileocolic intussusception caused by a cecal lipoma acting as a lead point.
