Recurrent intussusception in a child revealing a neuroendocrine tumor within a Meckel's diverticulum: a case report.

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
Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is a common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract, often asymptomatic but occasionally presenting with various complications. Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are slow-growing neoplasms that mostly originate from the small intestine. The typical age for the presence of a carcinoid tumor within MD is above 50s. NETs reported to be the most common primary malignancy originating from MD in elderly. We report the first case of a female child who demonstrated five episodes of intussusception, ending in surgical resection revealing a NET within MD. The histopathology study proved a low-grade tumor with no evidence of necrosis. Current literature lacks definitive guidelines for managing NET in MD cases, especially in pediatric populations, necessitating further research for optimal treatment strategies. Prompt removal of the diverticulum upon discovery is advised to enable early detection and treatment of carcinoid tumors, thereby avoiding potential complications or advanced disease stages.
