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

Colon lipomas are rare benign, nonepithelial tumors that are often asymptomatic. However, when symptoms do occur, they vary depending on the size and location of the lipoma and are generally nonspecific. Diagnosis is confirmed through histopathological analysis. Lipomas smaller than 2.5 cm can typically be observed without intervention, but larger or symptomatic lipomas require resection, which can be performed endoscopically or surgically. This case presents a rare phenomenon of synchronous left colonic lipoma leading to intestinal obstruction. Despite their benign nature, colonic lipomas can sometimes mimic malignant lesions, making histopathological analysis crucial for confirming the diagnosis.
