Jejunal Lipoma-Induced Intussusception Mimicking Crohn's Disease: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in gastroenterology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Introduction: Chronic gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with Crohn's disease presents diagnostic challenges. Adult intussusception is rare and typically caused by a pathological lead point, such as a tumor or inflammatory lesion. Lipomas, though benign, can lead to obstruction and bleeding, requiring differentiation from inflammatory causes for appropriate management. Case Presentation: A 70-year-old male with Crohn's disease and chronic anemia presented with recurrent obscure gastrointestinal bleeding. Initial endoscopy was unremarkable, but capsule endoscopy identified a bleeding jejunal lesion. Double-balloon enteroscopy and imaging confirmed a jejunal lipoma causing intermittent intussusception. Due to persistent anemia, the patient underwent laparoscopic resection, with pathology confirming an ulcerated lipoma. His anemia resolved postoperatively. Conclusion: This case underscores the importance of considering structural lesions like lipomas in patients with chronic bleeding and Crohn's disease. A multimodal approach, including advanced imaging and enteroscopy, is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management. Surgical resection remains the preferred treatment for symptomatic small bowel lipomas.
