Laparoscopic Management of Adult Ileocolic Intussusception Secondary to an Inverted Meckel's Diverticulum.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Intussusception is the telescoping of one part of the bowel into an adjacent part, and it is most common in the pediatric population. In the adult population, intussusception is rare; however, it is likely secondary to a pathological lead point, such as a neoplasm. Intussusception has been described secondary to Meckel's diverticulum, but ileocolic intussusceptions from an inverted Meckel's diverticulum are rare. We describe here a rare case of a 33-year-old male with no past medical or surgical history presenting with an acute abdomen and imaging findings of ileocolic intussusception with bowel ischaemia. He underwent an emergency laparoscopy, where reduction was attempted but unsuccessful and an ileocolic resection was performed. Histological findings were consistent with ileocolic intussusception containing an inverted Meckel's diverticulum as a lead point. Surgical reduction and/or resection remain the mainstay of treatment when they present hemodynamically unstable and/or concerns for bowel ischaemia/perforation.
