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 in adults is rare and poses a diagnostic challenge, often due to neoplastic causes. Metastatic melanoma is known to spread to the gastrointestinal tract, especially the small intestine. We report the case of a patient with obstructive symptoms and a history of metastatic melanoma. An emergency abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan identified an obstruction caused by ileoileal intussusception located at the site of a previously described enteric metastasis. Following palliative surgery with ileal resection, two nodular lesions causing intussusception were identified, and pathological examination confirmed intramural metastases from melanoma. In adult patients with obstructive symptoms and a history of melanoma, intussusception secondary to intestinal metastases should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
