Ileal intussusception due to heterotopic pancreas in the ileum: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Heterotopic pancreas (HP) is a rare condition where pancreatic tissue is found outside its usual location, usually within the gastrointestinal tract. While typically asymptomatic, HP can cause complications like gastrointestinal bleeding and intussusception, especially in adults, posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. A 31-year-old male presented with severe abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Initial imaging revealed significant ileal and cecal wall thickening. Despite antibiotic therapy, his condition worsened, necessitating exploratory laparotomy. Intraoperative findings showed ileal intussusception near the cecum, leading to ileocecal resection and ileo-colic anastomosis. Pathological examination confirmed HP as the cause of intussusception. This case underscores the importance of considering HP in adult intussusception. Timely surgical intervention is critical to prevent severe complications. At a two-year follow-up, he remained symptom-free, highlighting the necessity for prompt diagnosis and management.
