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

Adult jejuno-jejunal intussusception is an uncommon condition usually caused by a structural lead point, often a tumor. This case describes intussusception triggered by a fibrolipoma, a benign tumor of fatty and fibrous tissue, in a patient presenting with intestinal obstruction symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, and distension. Computed tomography (CT) imaging showed the classic "target sign" and identified the fibrolipoma as the lead point, which was confirmed during surgery requiring resection of both the tumor and affected jejunal segment. Although rare and often asymptomatic, fibrolipomas should be considered in adult intussusception, as timely diagnosis and surgical treatment are crucial to prevent complications like bowel ischemia.
