Clinical course and predictive factors of incidentally detected adult intussusceptions on CT: a retrospective cohort study.

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
backgroundAdult intussusception is traditionally considered a surgical pathology often associated with a malignant lead point. However, the widespread use of computed tomography (CT) has led to more frequent incidental detections. We aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiological characteristics of incidentally detected adult intussusceptions and identify predictors of lesion persistence.
methodsIn this retrospective study, we reviewed 150 adult patients with incidentally detected intussusception on abdominal CT between 2020 and 2025. Demographic data, clinical history, and radiological parameters (location, segment length, lead point, and ileus) were recorded. In the subgroup of patients with follow-up imaging (n = 59), factors predicting the persistence of the intussusception were statistically analyzed.
resultsThe mean age was 43.4 ± 18.0 years. The majority of intussusceptions were localized in the jejunum (77.3%). A pathological lead point was identified in only 11.3% of patients, and 4.7% presented with ileus. On follow-up imaging, 74.6% of the intussusceptions resolved spontaneously, while 10.2% required surgical intervention. There was no statistically significant association between the persistence of the lesion and the length of the intussuscepted segment (p = 0.184), history of malignancy (p = 0.236), or the presence of a lead point (p = 0.595).
conclusionMost incidentally detected adult intussusceptions are benign, transient, jejunal predominant processes. Traditional predictive factors, such as segment length or malignancy history, are insufficient to foresee lesion persistence. A conservative approach prioritizing clinical observation should be considered in asymptomatic patients lacking a distinct lead point or ileus.
