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 intussusception is an uncommon condition that usually indicates an underlying pathological lead point. Ileal perineurioma is an exceptionally rare benign peripheral nerve sheath tumor with limited gastrointestinal reports. We describe a 59-year-old woman presenting with acute severe abdominal pain, vomiting, and distension. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography demonstrated ileal intussusception with small-bowel obstruction. Emergency laparotomy confirmed terminal ileal intussusception, and segmental resection was performed. Histopathological evaluation revealed a spindle-cell neoplasm with characteristic pseudo-onion bulb architecture. Immunohistochemistry showed strong positivity for epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) and Glucose Transporter-1 (GLUT-1), while other markers were negative, confirming perineurioma. The postoperative course was uneventful, with no recurrence on follow-up. This case highlights ileal perineurioma as a rare but important differential diagnosis in adult small-bowel intussusception, with definitive diagnosis reliant on histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluation.
