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

The prolapse of a pedunculated juvenile rectal polyp is a rare event. It occurs when the polyp protrudes through the anus and appears as a fleshy mass at the anus, leading to an alarming scenario for both the parent and patient and typically prompting a visit to the emergency department (ED). We report a case of a five-year-old male patient who presented to the ED with a prolapsed rectal mass. A careful examination revealed it to be a pedunculated prolapsed polyp through the anus. The polyp was excised in the ED without complication, and the patient was discharged home with follow-up appointments with both pediatric surgery and gastroenterology for colonoscopy. The pathology report later confirmed the diagnosis of the juvenile polyp. We present this case to raise awareness about the various presentations of juvenile polyps and to familiarize clinicians with this diagnosis.
