Small Bowel Intussusception due to Nasojejunal Tube Placement in Neonates: A Case Report.

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
introductionNasojejunal tube placement is a rare cause of small bowel intussusception. It is usually treated with tube removal, but a few cases require surgical reduction. We report a case of small bowel intussusception due to a nasojejunal tube shortly after surgery for ileal atresia, in which surgical reduction was required despite removal of the tube. CASE PRESENTATION: A female infant underwent intestinal anastomosis for type III-A ileal atresia on the day of birth. A nasojejunal tube was placed for abdominal decompression until the temporary anastomotic passage obstruction improved. Bowel dilatation was successfully resolved; however, bilious gastric residuals suddenly increased again on postoperative day (POD) 11. Sonography revealed small bowel intussusception around the nasojejunal tube. As spontaneous reduction did not occur after tube removal, surgical reduction using the Hutchinson technique was performed on POD 20, including the release of adhesions between the intussusceptum and intussuscipiens of the jejunal intussusception. The patient experienced an uneventful course after surgical reduction.
conclusionsSonography should be performed to screen for small bowel intussusception in patients presenting with bilious vomiting during nasojejunal tube placement. The prompt removal of the tube following a diagnosis of small bowel intussusception (SBI) is essential to prevent adverse events, such as adhesions between the intussuscepted bowel loops. If intussusception does not resolve shortly after tube removal, surgical intervention is indicated.
