Terminal ileum Burkitt's lymphoma related ileocolic intussusception in a five-year-old child: a case report and review of literature.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introduction and importanceIntussusception is a common pediatric condition characterized by the invagination of a proximal bowel segment into a distal segment, leading to intestinal obstruction and acute abdominal symptoms. While most cases are idiopathic, rare secondary causes, such as gastrointestinal Burkitt lymphoma, can occur. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 5-year-old Ethiopian male presented in January 2024 with a 24-h history of crampy abdominal pain, vomiting, abdominal distension, and currant jelly stool. Examination revealed fever (38 °C), tachypnea (28 breaths/min), tachycardia (125 bpm), and abdominal tenderness. Ultrasound showed a target sign, and after resuscitation, the patient underwent surgery for suspected intussusception. Intraoperatively, ileocecal intussusception with an intraluminal mass serving as the lead point was identified and resected with primary anastomosis. Histopathology confirmed Burkitt lymphoma. Postoperative follow-up was uneventful. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Burkitt lymphoma is a highly aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that rarely presents as a lead point for ileocecal intussusception in children. While factors like immunocompromise and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) are often implicated, sporadic cases, such as the one presented here, can occur without identifiable risk factors. Diagnosis typically relies on postoperative histopathology, and complete surgical resection is associated with excellent outcomes.
conclusionBurkitt lymphoma is an aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that can rarely cause secondary intussusception. Accurate postoperative evaluation and histopathological diagnosis, along with complete surgical removal followed by chemotherapy, are essential for a favorable outcome.
