Intestinal Intussusception in Adults: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in World journal of surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundManagement of intestinal intussusception remains controversial with regards to conservative versus operative management, as well as choice of surgical procedure.
methodsA systematic review on PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, Google Scholar, SCOPUS/EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library was performed. Articles published between 2004 and 2024 were collected. Case reports and case series < 20 patients were not considered.
resultsAfter screening of 2286 articles, 37 studies totaling 2330 patients were included. All studies were retrospective case series except for one prospective case series and one prospective and retrospective case series. There were 20% of colocolic intussusceptions, 21% of ileocolic intussusceptions, and 65% of enteric (small bowel) intussusceptions. A radiological lead point of the intussusception was described in 31% of patients. Intussusceptions were idiopathic in 39%, and caused by a pathological lead point in 58% of cases. Underlying malignancy was present 25% of cases and was more frequent in case of colocolic intussusceptions (68%), versus 9% in small bowel intussusceptions, and 46% of ileocolic intussusceptions. Operative management was performed in 49% of intussusceptions, mainly through open access (72%). Based on these findings, a comprehensive algorithm is provided to guide treatment decisions in adult patients with intussusception.
conclusionData regarding surgical management of the intussusception were heterogenous and poorly reported. In case of colic intussusception, a high degree of suspicion for an underlying malignancy is warranted, and in that regard, an oncological surgical resection without reduction is recommended. Enteric intussusception should be managed according to length, clinical presentation, and interoperative findings of lead points.
