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

Bowel intussusception is a rare cause of obstruction in adults. Unlike the paediatric population, the etiology of adult intussusception is typically an underlying intestinal tumour, which can be benign or malignant, resulting in partial or complete mechanical ileus and corresponding symptoms. Diagnosing it through imaging techniques can be challenging and is sometimes only confirmed after an exploratory laparotomy. Surgical treatment in adults is often necessary because it aims not only to resolve the intussusception but also to address the underlying cause. We present three cases of surgically treated adult intussusception and discuss key points in managing this condition, based on a review of the literature.
