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

Colonic lipomas are uncommon benign tumors that are usually asymptomatic but may occasionally lead to complications such as intussusception. In adults, colocolic intussusception is rare and typically associated with a structural lead point, often malignant. We report the case of a 74-year-old woman who presented with acute bowel obstruction and was found to have colocolic intussusception secondary to a colonic lipoma. Diagnosis was established through imaging, and surgical resection was performed without prior reduction. The patient recovered uneventfully. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges posed by adult intussusception and emphasizes the key role of CT imaging in identifying the underlying cause and guiding appropriate management. Early recognition and timely surgical intervention are crucial for favorable outcomes.
