1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 condition in which the proximal segment of the bowel telescopes into the distal segment. 90% of the cases, especially in infants and toddlers, do not have any lead point and are due to lymphoid hypertrophy, following a viral infection. The presence of polyps in the form of lead point in children is rare. In fact, multiple polyps presenting as multiple sites intussusception are much rarer. We report a case of multiple intussusceptions in a 11-year-old female who presented with complaints of pain abdomen and blood-mixed stool. On imaging examination, she was found to having multiple polyps serving as a possible lead point, and was managed with hydroreduction. Imaging in case of multiple intussusception typically reveals concentric rings of bowel within the bowel giving a "target sign" on axial scans and a "pseudo-kidney sign" on coronal/sagittal CT scans. Our case report shows that, multiple intussusception due to multiple polyps can be a possibility for acute pain abdomen in children.
