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

Inflammatory fibroid polyps (IFPs), also known as Vanek's tumors, are rare, benign mesenchymal neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly found in the gastric antrum. However, small bowel involvement is exceedingly uncommon, and when present, it can lead to intussusception, a rare yet serious complication. Here, we report a case of a 65-year-old female with a history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia who presented with persistent abdominal pain and gastrointestinal symptoms. Imaging revealed an ileo-ileal intussusception, necessitating surgical resection. Histopathology confirmed an IFP as the lead point. This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of IFPs in the small intestine and underscores the importance of considering rare causes of intussusception in adults.
