Adult transverse colon intussusception: A case report and literature review.
Article in Radiology case reports, 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 of the transverse colon in adults is commonly associated with a malignant lead point. Timely diagnosis and surgery are particularly important in weak patients with many comorbidities. An 84-year-old man presented with a 5-day history of vomiting, abdominal distension, and generalized weakness. He had severe frailty (Clinical Frailty Scale [CFS] score 7) and multiple comorbidities including Parkinson's disease, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and anemia. Laboratory investigations revealed metabolic acidosis, leukocytosis, and acute kidney injury. Contrast-enhanced CT of the abdomen and pelvis demonstrated bowel obstruction with pneumoperitoneum; however, perforation and an underlying malignant lead point were not identified on imaging. Emergency laparotomy revealed a perforated transverse colon intussusception with a 5 × 5 cm mucinous adenocarcinoma as the lead point. Palliative transverse colectomy with end ileostomy was performed owing to hemodynamic instability. Postoperatively, the patient developed hypoactive delirium, Parkinson-related rigidity attributable to the inability to administer oral dopaminergic medication preoperatively and a delay in initiating the transdermal rotigotine patch postoperatively, hypoglycemia, and sepsis. Despite intensive care support, his condition deteriorated and he died on postoperative day 12. This case highlights the limitations of preoperative CT imaging in identifying perforation and malignancy in colonic intussusception, the complexity of perioperative management in frail patients with multiple comorbidities, and the importance of early multidisciplinary decision-making in geriatric surgical emergencies.
