Case Report: Ileocecal Intussusception Secondary to a Metastatic Malignant Melanoma From the Scalp.

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
Adult intussusception is an unusual condition that is infrequently associated with malignancy. We experienced a rare occurrence of ileocecal intussusception in a 31-year-old male, secondary to metastatic melanoma. The patient, with a medical history of scalp malignant melanoma treated surgically and with chemotherapy, presented with persistent lower abdominal pain. Diagnostic modalities, including computed tomography (CT) and colonoscopy, revealed ileocecal intussusception. Subsequent laparoscopic surgery and pathological examination identified metastatic melanoma as the etiological factor for the intussusception, leading to the surgical resection of the involved bowel segment. The postoperative period was marked by a smooth recovery with no complications. This case shows the importance of considering malignancy in the differential diagnosis of adult intussusception and underscores the urgency of surgical intervention in the management of such cases.
