Primary Jejunal Melanoma Presenting With Intussusception in a Patient With Chronic Iron Deficiency Anemia.

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
Primary gastrointestinal (GI) melanomas (PGIMs) are rare, accounting for a small fraction of GI malignancies and particularly uncommon in the small bowel. Diagnosing PGIMs is challenging due to its varied presentations and the difficulty in distinguishing it from metastatic melanoma. We present the case of an 84-year-old man with chronic anemia and intussusception due to primary jejunal melanoma. The patient reported fatigue, dizziness, and chronic anemia. Initial evaluations, including esophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy, were nondiagnostic. A video capsule endoscopy revealed scattered aphthous ulcers without active bleeding, and computed tomography enterography identified a jejunal mass causing intussusception. Exploratory laparotomy confirmed a 3.5 cm polypoid mass, identified histologically as high-grade malignant melanoma. This case, the first reported instance of primary jejunal melanoma with chronic anemia and intussusception, underscores the diagnostic complexities of PGIMs and emphasizes the importance of imaging and surgical intervention. Awareness of PGIMs in elderly patients with nonspecific GI symptoms is essential.
