Goblet Cell Adenocarcinoma Presenting as Treatment-Resistant Ileocecal Stricture Mimicking Crohn's Disease: Report of a Case.
Article in Surgical 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
introductionGoblet cell adenocarcinoma (GCA) is a rare malignancy of the appendix that often involves deeper layers of the bowel wall, making preoperative diagnosis difficult and occasionally mimicking inflammatory bowel disease. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a 47-year-old man with a history of appendectomy who presented with an ileocecal stricture initially diagnosed as Crohn's disease. As the stricture persisted despite repeated endoscopic balloon dilations, ileocecal resection was performed. Histopathological examination revealed that immunohistochemistry was positive for mucin 2, synaptophysin, and carcinoembryonic antigen, leading to a diagnosis of GCA. The patient received adjuvant chemotherapy with capecitabine and oxaliplatin and remains recurrence-free.
conclusionsThis case indicates that malignancy should be considered in treatment-refractory ileocecal strictures, even when endoscopic biopsy results are negative.
