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

Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome (PJS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder marked by mucocutaneous pigmentation and gastrointestinal hamartomatous polyps, with a predisposition to malignancy. We present a 48-year-old male with known PJS who arrived at the emergency department with right flank abdominal pain. CT imaging revealed multiple small bowel intussusceptions-most notably in the right flank-alongside hyperdense intraluminal polyps. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy, where manual reduction of the intussusceptions and surgical resection of polyps were performed. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and he was enrolled in a surveillance program. We present the case of a 48-year-old male with Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome who developed multiple small bowel intussusceptions. This case highlights the importance of cross-sectional imaging, particularly CT and MRI enterography, in diagnosing complications and guiding treatment in adult PJS. Long-term management involves routine imaging, polyp surveillance, and cancer screening.
