A Vanishing Polyp: A Large Ileal Lipoma Causing Ileocolic Intussusception.
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
Intussusception is defined as invagination of a proximal segment of gastrointestinal tract into distal segment and is an uncommon pathology. It is more common in children. In the adult population, it is often due to a polyp or tumor. We report an interesting case of a vanishing colonic polyp in a 55-year-old man who presented with a three-month history of intermittent right abdominal pain, altered bowel habit, and weight loss. Colonoscopy demonstrated a large, elongated polyp in the ascending colon, which vanished during attempts to intubate proximally. A computed tomography scan showed a lipomatous polyp in the distal ileum confirmed on a repeat colonoscopy. The patient proceeded with surgical resection, and histology confirmed the polyp to be an ileal submucosal lipoma. There is literature on ileocolic intussusceptions secondary to ileal submucosal lipoma; however, our case is interesting and unique in that the intussusception was seen and reduced during the colonoscopy.
