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

rationaleIntussusception secondary to sigmoid colon lipoma is a rare cause of adult intestinal obstruction. Due to its low prevalence and nonspecific clinical features, diagnosis is often delayed. Early recognition is critical to prevent disease complications and improve patient outcomes. PATIENT CONCERNS: We reported a 71-year-old female patient who presented with severe abdominal pain and bloody stool. DIAGNOSES: The abdominal computed tomography scan, colonoscopy, and pathological examination indicated that it was a lipoma.

interventionsThe patient underwent sigmoid colectomy with end-to-end coloanal anastomosis. OUTCOMES: The patient experienced an uneventful postoperative recovery. LESSONS: In adults, especially the elderly, intussusception secondary to lipoma is rare, and diagnosis is often complicated by intermittent symptoms. Multimodal evaluation (computed tomography, colonoscopy, and histopathology) is essential for diagnostic accuracy. Timely surgical intervention alleviates intestinal obstruction while establishing a definitive diagnosis, necessitating heightened clinical vigilance for this rare entity.
