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

Colo-colic intussusception is a surgical emergency in which a part of the intestine slides into the distal adjacent part. Transverse sigmoid intussusception is a rare serious clinical condition requiring immediate surgical intervention. We present a 6-year-old female with intermittent abdominal pain, watery bloody stool and obstipation. Digital rectal examination revealed a firm tender mass; finger showed a current jelly stool. The ultrasound showed a donut sign and underwent a laparotomy and the postoperative recovery was uneventful. All children with imprecise signs and symptoms, especially presenting with bloody mucus stool, can be mistaken for gastroenteritis, have high risk of perforation. They must be considered as surgical cases until proven otherwise.
