Ovarian teratoma leading to colonic intussusception: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Intussusception in adults is relatively rare compared to that in children and is typically caused by underlying benign or malignant intestinal diseases. We report a case of a 40-year-old female who presented with colonic intussusception and obstruction caused by an ovarian teratoma invading a segment of the colon. Contrast-enhanced CT imaging revealed a soft tissue mass within the colon, and colonoscopy identified a large cystic lesion approximately 6.0 × 6.0 cm in size located 20 cm from the anal verge. This lesion obstructed the lumen, causing significant narrowing. Preoperatively, the condition was misdiagnosed as intussusception caused by a colonic diverticulum. During laparoscopic exploration, a left ovarian tumor invading the colon was identified as the cause of the intussusception and obstruction. Consequently, partial colectomy and left oophorectomy were performed. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a mature ovarian teratoma. The postoperative recovery was uneventful, and the patient was discharged in good health. This case report presents a rare instance of intussusception, highlighting the challenges associated with achieving an accurate preoperative diagnosis. Surgical intervention remains the primary treatment modality for patients with this condition.
