Adult Colonic Intussusception: A Focused Review of Diagnostic and Management Strategies.
Review in Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania), 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
Adult intussusception is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction that differs markedly from the pediatric form in etiology, clinical presentation, and management. In contrast to predominantly idiopathic pediatric cases, adult intussusception is usually associated with an underlying structural lesion, particularly malignancy in colonic involvement. This narrative review summarizes current evidence regarding the epidemiology, etiologic spectrum, clinical features, diagnostic evaluation, and management of adult colo-colic and sigmoido-rectal intussusception. Clinical presentation is often nonspecific, and distal variants may mimic rectal prolapse or large bowel obstruction, contributing to delayed diagnosis. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography represents the diagnostic modality of choice, enabling the identification of lead points and associated complications. Surgical resection remains the cornerstone of treatment due to the high risk of malignancy, while nonoperative management is reserved for carefully selected cases. Improved recognition of atypical presentations and individualized, imaging-guided management are essential to optimize outcomes in this uncommon but clinically significant condition.
