Inflammatory Fibroid Polyp or Vanek Tumor as an Uncommon Cause of Adult Intussusception: Diagnostic and Surgical Considerations.
Article in Cureus, 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
Inflammatory fibroid polyps (IFPs) or Vanek tumors are rare benign neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract, with an unknown pathogenesis, that, despite their harmless nature, can lead to small bowel intussusception - a rare cause of intestinal obstruction in adults. In this article, we present the case of a 69-year-old man who arrived at the emergency department with vague abdominal discomfort. Imaging revealed a jejunojejunal intussusception caused by a polypoid mass, which was successfully treated through laparoscopic-assisted bowel resection. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of IFPs. A comprehensive literature review was conducted, identifying 22 previously published cases to better understand the clinical profile and management of this rare condition. It highlights the importance of raising awareness among clinicians about this unusual disease so that it can be recognized and receive prompt surgical treatment as key factors to prevent complications and ensure full recovery.
