Laparoscopic segmental colectomy for a rare case of extraluminal amoeboma masquerading as stromal tumour of the colon.
Article in Journal of minimal access surgery, 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
abstractEntamoeba histolytica is known to cause infectious colitis that presents with diarrhoea or dysentery. Extra intestinal manifestations result in amoebic abscesses to involve organs such as the liver, lungs or brain. Very rarely, it may present like a pseudotumour due to a mass formation if the primary infection was untreated or inadequately treated. We, herein, report a rare case of extraluminal amoebic pseudotumour in a young female with a diagnosis of a gastrointestinal stromal tumour of hepatic flexure of the transverse colon on pre-operative imaging and per operative findings, but final histopathological examination of the resected specimen proved it to be an amoeboma. The rarity of this case was the extraluminal presentation, unlike other reported cases of intraluminal pseudotumour. After an extensive literature search, we believe that this is the first reported case of extraluminal pseudotumour of the transverse colon managed by laparoscopic segmental colectomy.
